“She gave me pizza with murder in her heart.”

Four boys go into a wood, but not all of them come out again. One lad chases a hare into the forest and stumbles upon a mysterious palace with a silent, occasionally naked, heavily veiled chatelaine. The next, a cattleman, turns out to have a secret past. A third man loses his wife whilst chasing his wedding ring. And the fourth story? Well, that’s a chance for the women to answer back.

Not all the stories have happy endings: prison, pistols, poison, and skulls will feature. There are five narrators, two of them dead, and not every handsome hero gets his just deserts.

The Forest of Chance Encounters is one long tale melded together from four stories in Italo Calvino’s collection of Italian Folktales, masterfully told by performer storyteller Sarah Rundle.

There are Lurve Stories and there are Anti-Lurve Stories. This show cunningly combines successful love, unsuccessful love, and Run-for-the-Hills-they’re-a-Psycho love. 

Sarah Rundle got locked in a laboratory but tunnelled her way to freedom. She ran away to drama school, and has been a storyteller for nineteen years. She has performed for the British Council, Wellcome Foundation, Geffrye Museum, Kew Gardens, the National Trust, Stockholm’s Fabula Story Café, the Nivesh Festival in Delhi, Festival at the Edge, and Beyond The Border.
