SARAH LIISA WILKINSON: AND OTHER WONDERS
A Fairytale For Grown-Ups
Once upon a time there were three sisters, and three brothers, and a mortal king, and a tree of gold, a fruit of life, a mountain of glass, a witch in the woods with a knife, and a daughter, a slaughter and a sacrifice, a shared myth, a curse, a tragic truth, another world beyond a wall, the devil himself, and other wonders…
Fall into the surreal, enchanting and hallucinatory world of three wonder tales told by Sarah Liisa Wilkinson. We promise to return you in one piece… unless you choose to stay.
Half-English and half-Finnish, storyteller Sarah Lisa is one of the brightest new talents to emerge in British storytelling. She has trained as a performer with Philippe Gaulier, and as a storyteller with Nell Phoenix and Ben Haggarty.
