Let me introduce you to Neville Wearne from Boskenna, a regular 'bowdy-go'. Wild and beautiful, a lover of dance, she meets the dashing Capt Black, and they dance through the storm at St Buryan Fair Day. Why do they vanish into thin air? Who exactly is Capt Black? Betty Trenoweth is a witch, a wise woman, a charmer, who covets Madame Nay's rare breed of chickens, with gay tufts of feathers on their heads. Will Madame Noy sell Betty some of her copples eggs? Will she regret if she doesn't? Penzance-born David Shaw is an experienced actor and natural storyteller. In this fabulous one man show he brings Cornwall's rich folklore vividly to life in the persona of 19th Century folklorist William Bottrell.
