THE MIGHTY GODDESS
Sally Pomme Clayton
Sly, subversive, spectacular – pioneering storyteller Sally Pomme Clayton evokes powerful goddesses from across the globe.
Follow the goddess: creator, virgin, lover, mother, warrior, crone. Meet: Vesta the fiery virgin warrior; Cybele, the mother goddess who fathered a child; Ishtar, Goddess of Love and War who journeys to the Land of the Dead.
Pomme entwines myths with memories, spells with songs, comedy with ceremony. She brings ancient myths to contemporary life with dynamic spoken-word, strange musical sounds, gesture, ritual and the chance to receive a message from the goddess’s oracle!
“One of the country’s most highly regarded storytellers…she awakens the imagination of the audience.” The Independent
The stories are drawn from Pomme’s latest book The Mighty Goddess (The History Press 2023) a collection of 52 goddess myths that combine myth and art with 52 fabulous papercuts by artist Sophie Herxheimer.
“It felt like I was a child again listening to stories – with added sex, lots of sex actually!” Brockwell Barn
“You have made the goddess go mainstream!” Beyond the Border Festival
“Fiery, thrilling, powerful storytelling,” Bloomsbury Festival
The Mighty Goddess is X rated and for adults only, containing graphic content.
The Mighty Goddess will be our final StoryNight of the season as we get ready for… Stealing Thunder Storytelling Festival 2025!
StoryNights will be back at Brigsteer from September 2025.
