The Autumn 2010 programme is well underway at the library, but there are still a few opportunities to get involved. For example our Storytelling Sessions and Archive Taster Sessions are still to take place in November and December, check out our Calendar of Events for more information.
On the topic of Storytelling, I was recently sent some information about an event at the start of November in the Ramshorn Theatre that reinterprets some classic tales with a feminist twist.
Louna Productions in collaboration with STG
Wednesday 3 to Saturday 6 November at 7.30pm
GRIM(M) TALES/ BLUEBEARD
Think you know your fairy tales? Think again…drawing on their Fringe sell-out success, ‘Grim(m) Tales/Bluebeard’ is Louna’s second production, this time in collaboration with Bruce Downie and Strathclyde Theatre Group at the Ramshorn Theatre in Glasgow.
Merging the lesser known, darkest tales by the Brothers Grimm and the tale of the devilish bridegroom, this brand new production is a double bill of European folklore with a twist. Using elements of physical theatre and traditional storytelling, making use of only minimal staging and props, ‘Grim(m) Tales/Bluebeard’ relies on the power of words to enthral its audience in a nightmarish take on fairy tales.(Please note that this show is not suitable for anyone under the age of 14).
‘Grim(m) Tales/Bluebeard’ takes place from Wednesday 3rd November – Saturday 6th November, 19:30 pm at The Ramshorn Theatre, 98 Ingram Street, Glasgow G1 EX.
Tickets are £9(£6 concession).
Louna Productions is a new Scottish-German company founded by Anna Lehr and Louisa Thornton. The two actresses met in early 2010 and founded their own theatre company to specialise in storytelling with a twist for an adult audience. Their current production is being performed as part of the IETM (Informal European Theatre Meeting).
