The Crick Crack Club at Cranborne Earthouse: Luck, Fate and Destiny – a storytelling double-bill!

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.

Luck, Fate & Destiny: A Double-Bill! Performance storytelling by Daniel Morden and Lucy Lill

Put on your lucky socks, don your finest charms, and pick a card from the pack as we place ourselves in the hands of kismet, karma and Kassandra – she who could see exactly what was coming, but was never believed.

THE TOENAIL, by DANIEL MORDEN
What is luck anyway?
A random event dressed in a story?
Or is it a matter of attitude – what you do with the hand you are dealt?

Scattering salt, crossing black cats and knocking on wood as he goes, Daniel Morden delves deep into the lucky dip of life to unwrap a bundle of absurd coincidences and bizarre occurrences. Expect horned princesses, dipstick squirrels and fortuitous toenails…

AND

FUTURE IMPERFECT – the curse of Kassandra, by LUCY LILL
Gobbed on by a god,
Blessed with the power to see the future,
Cursed with never being believed,
Meet Kassandra…

Following a path less trodden, Lucy Lill, rakes through the ashes of a fallen city to find the story of those who knew exactly what was coming, but did nothing about it. Here a young woman bargains for unheard of powers and a new god smashes his way to the centre of the world.
