From The Odd by Tim Ralphs - From the Odd is Tim Ralphs spectacular re-imagining of some of the most familiar material in myth, folktale and nursery rhyme - treated with reverence, love, sewing scissors and a welding iron. The resultant panoply of resonant images includes, Orpheus' Lyre, urban landscapes, the Devil playing scrabble, stars, sheds, and jocular cannibals. Let Tim take you to the edge, and back... The Balance of Things (or how to settle a debt with a chicken) by Michael Harvey Venture into the vibrant and liminal world of Breton fairytales, and a landscape filled with encounters with beauties, beasts, strange companions, bizarre marriages, and ruthless atonement. In a charm-your-socks-off performance, Michael Harvey draws on the collections of Fran?ois-Marie Luzel, to recast and retell these grown up tales of wonder with a disarmingly light touch. These stories come from a place where everyday life and the fantastic collide - somewhere simultaneously earthy, ethereal and real... with a decidedly comedic twist.
