# Event Details - **Event Name**: “The Selkie Who Stayed" & Other Stories - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: A selkie woman comes ashore to dance under moonlight and finds herself caught in the arms of a sailor. Captivated by love, she chooses to stay, surrendering her bond with the ocean for the promise of family life. But what does it really mean to stay? As the years pass, she is tethered to a growing child, weighed down by domestic routine, and slowly estranged from her own wild self. Where once she swam vast oceans, she now migrates between the washing machine, the oven, and the school gate – an unwitting tradwife. Torn between loyalty and longing, depression and quiet rage, our selkie must reckon with the cost of staying and the near-impossibility of leaving. Hilarious, heartfelt and darkly intimate, The Selkie Who Stayed reshapes the classic Selkie myth for the age of consent. The night will open with Tales of Freyja – a collection of stories of the fierce Norse Goddess. Suitable for ages 12+. Hannah Sneyd is a storyteller based on Dartmoor. She began performing four years ago when stories began to drop into her thoughts, asking to be told. Her style is witty, lyrical and bold, using story to weave bridges between the world we inhabit and the magical realms just beyond our fingertips. With a background in science and nature documentary television and a passion for nature, her work is deeply inspired by the landscape and the creatures within it. So expect dancing rivers, quarrelsome birds and even the odd dragon. When not performing, Hannah works as an educator, creating transformative spaces for people of all ages and backgrounds to connect and learn through theatre. As associate artist with organisations Bigfoot Arts Education, Doorstep Arts and Reboot the Roots, she has run workshops in theatre-in-education at schools, social centres and festivals across the UK and wider Europe. She runs the monthly storytelling club Stories and Stars at a permaculture site in central Plymouth, and loves nothing more than sharing stories around an open fire, under a blanket of stars.
