The Crick Crack Club at Cranborne Earthouse | Fairytales for Grown-ups: Queen of Between

There is a hill in Dorset that has a door. Inside is a fire-lit theatre. This is Cranborne Earthouse – one of England’s most magical, secret venues. Seating up to 250 people and lit by oil lamp and firelight, this is a place where audiences gather – under an earth roof, held up by 21 huge oak tree trunks – to listen to stories and music.

Every month, world-class storytellers, The Crick Crack Club, bring legendary live performance storytelling to the Earthouse.

Fairytales for Grown-ups: Queen of Between by Lucy Lill & Sarah Liisa Wilkinson

What happens…
When the goddess of childbirth crosses her legs?
When you’re bound above chaos with golden threads?
When the weight of your grief means you can’t walk on?
When you’re neither living or dead so you don’t fit in?
When you’re… stuck?

That’s when you need Hecate: Queen of Between, many-shaped and multi-tasking goddess of birth, death, witches, weasels, hellhounds, crossroads, thresholds and ghosts.

Barking at her heels, Lucy Lill and Sarah Liisa Wilkinson take up their torches, jangle their keys and bring you stories of letting go, squeezing through and moving on.
