Shoreham Wordfest: Sary – A Folkloric Play

About this event

A feminist-folk-horror Theatre production based on the 19th century Sussex tale of 'Ol' Sary Weaver.

They call me witch. A teeth-gnasher. A shape-shifter. "When a man says a woman turns into a hare, it means she were too quick for him!"

This piece of English Eerie explores themes of female sexuality, ageing and loss as kinds of alchemy.

Produced by Different Theatre. Featuring Sharon Drain and Rebecca Jones. Written and directed by award-winning writer Sam Chittenden.

'Sary' was a pick of Brighton and Edinburgh fringe by both Fringe Guru and Chris On Theatre, and was nominated for The Infallible Award for Theatrical Excellence.

Age recommendation: 14+
