Wild, irreverent, stupid, wise, dangerous and outrageously rude, Coyote has questions.
BIG Questions.
Looking for answers he crosses land and sky, breaks the rules, dances with illusion, cheats death and wreaks havoc at every turn.
Emily Hennessey stumbles through the chaos of parenthood and life while celebrating the great First Nation trickster, the original creator and fool, riffing on the blues and high on himself.
Raw, rough and close to the edge.
Recommended for 16+
★★★★★ “An irreverent but profound performance” Remote Goat
EMILY HENNESSEY is a dynamic performance storyteller often found wielding a stick and stamping her feet as she embraces epics, myths, wondertales and folktales from across the world.
Work and travel in India have kindled in Emily a great love of Hindu mythology. She’s journeyed over 10,000 miles across India by train, bus, rattling rickshaw and rickety bicycle. With a Swedish background, Emily also has a passion for the Norse Myths and Scandinavian folklore, including a particular fascination with that curious hairy creature – the Troll.
Emily has performed in theatres, arts centres and at festivals from Iceland to India, and closer to home at the Southbank Centre, Soho Theatre and British Museum. She lives in the Lake District with her children and husband, storyteller and musician, Nick Hennessey. Together they run Stealing Thunder and host the Stealing Thunder Storytelling Festival.
