Tales That Topple Tyrants

Feeling gloomy about the world? Spark up your heart with vivid tales of hope, magic and defiance.

Once upon a time there was a very bad king. He stole from his subjects, laid waste to the land, told outrageous lies, declared war on his neighbours, and always got his own way...

Except he didn’t.

In these weird and wonderful fairy tales for grown-ups, we’ll defeat bad kings, join forces with wily underdogs, bring dead hope back to life – and learn how to be the magical heroes the world needs.

Following a string of sell-out performances around the Island, popular local storyteller Merl Fluin makes her Fringe debut with a new solo show for #vfringe25. Some of the stories are old, some are new, some are funny, some are sad, but all of them are bold and beautiful… not to mention bloody-minded.

Suitable for ages 16+

Venue: The Bijou @ Fringe Village, Ventnor Park
