          Three times round the circle
          And faerie-land begins
          Three times round the wrong way
          And call it widdershins
                                        Old Cornish Nursery Rhyme

Welcome to WIDDERSHINS: a long-forgotten village buried deep in a dark, wild corner of Cornwall. Here, Bob Droll (local raconteur, folklore enthusiast and village-hall caretaker) will take you on a tour of a place where mystery lurks about every corner.

You won’t believe the shocking tales of poor “Pity Me” Jose; or of Cryer Bledstone, the Sea Captain afraid of death! And then there's the ghost of Treacle Straight bus stop... But beware. The deeper Bob leads you into his forest of far-fetched fables, the more lost you might get.

Widdershins. Tis hard to find but even harder to leave...

Expect stories told with a sting, poetry cracked and darkly comic, unforgettable characters and physical theatre, alongside the usual irreverence, wit and silliness. It will be dark, delirious and delightful.

Under Milk Wood-ish, sort of... only way, waayyy weirder!

Widdershins is an exciting original work, scripted specifically for David, by renowned writer Carl Grose and directed by Olivier Award winner Simon Harvey.

Suitable for adults and older children (12+)

Running time: 80 mins approx. (excluding interval)

Written by Carl Grose / Directed by Simon Harvey
