~ 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!
