The Crick Crack Club at Cranborne Earthouse: Gilgamesh
Details
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.
Gilgamesh – performance storytelling by Ben Haggarty
- A bored king,
- A wild man tamed,
- A quest for eternal life,
- And the deepest secrets of the gods…
Over 3,500 years after this ancient Sumerian epic was first etched into clay tablets, world renowned storyteller Ben Haggarty, and multi-instrumentalist Jonah Brody, bring Gilgamesh to the stage in an extraordinary and powerful telling of one of the oldest stories in the world.
Haggarty’s bold and physical performance is underscored by the uncanny psychedelia of Brody’s music. The result is a passionate, fast-paced epic, laced with quick-witted humour.
Deities are irritated and appeased by turn, supernatural beings are slain, apocalypse is averted, and our anti-hero, turned hero, discovers what it really is to be a man.
‘VIVID, RICH AND IMPOSINGLY EPIC’ Dominic Maxwell, The Times
‘I WAS SPELLBOUND – I DON’T USE THE WORD LIGHTLY’ Erica Wagner, The Times
Suitable for adults (14+).
