Following a smashing run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, critically acclaimed brown and queer storyteller Niall Moorjani reimagines the folk classic Thomas the Rhymer in an evening of strangeness, sexy fairies and swearing. An original piece which explores queerness, Scottish race and gender identities through a medieval-inspired landscape. Set to a live original score from cellist Diana Redgrave, this is storytelling at its experimental best.
Directed by Minnie Wilkinson. Originally commissioned for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2022. Lyn Gardner’s Pick of VAULT Festival2023. Shortlisted for an OffFest Award at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023.
