LITFEST: Jacqueline Harris (Catch-up)

Slowing Down to the Speed of Light

Storytelling event, with original music by Maja Bugge

Slowing Down to the Speed of Light explores an adult ADHD diagnosis through the playful and provocative storytelling of a woman untangling a lifetime of tales while a girl from the future searches for an ancestor lost in faerie. A minstrel plays a song he’s never heard before and the Lady of the Lake keeps a promise. New stories are up for grabs and there are choices to be made, but will it be too late?

Praise for Jacqueline Harris’s Where We Land:

‘I was seduced and then spellbound’

‘A beautiful interweaving of folklore, personal story and landscape’
