'Old Gower Fairytales'

&

 new reclaimed versions of Welsh myths.

Blodauwedd

New show

'A Maiden's Tale'

​I'm currently working on developing new versions of Cerridwen's story (16th Century) and Blodeuwedd (14th Century).

Reclaiming them from the patriarchy of the medieval court and giving them their rightful place in story. 

​

The new show will evolve out of these stories.

A combination of harp, Welsh myth and true stories, about women from across the ages.

Coming soon!. 

 

Film Screenings

 

There are 6 community screenings being planned for the 

'Gowerreels' films.

​

The 6 screenings will take place in village halls across Gower.

 

Each screening will have a different combination of the soon to be 11 short documentary

Gower films.
