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’
