WORD of MOUTH
"LIFE, DEATH and DIVINE INTERVENTION"
FRIDAY 27 JANUARY 2012
In October The Shaggy Dog Storytellers told stories at the Briton's Protection, a pub in Manchester that is home to the Word of Mouth Storytelling Club.
Now Helen Stewart and Honor Giles from Word of Mouth travel to Hebden Bridge to bring us:
A portmanteau of tales from all points of the compass. Arrogance out-thought by womanly wit; gods with lustrous pedigrees and cleaning fetishes; death by dreaming; love, despair and cryogenics.
Add to that Armageddon averted by a surfeit of beer and the most arrogant parrot in the history of feathered impostors and you've got:-
Life, Death and Divine Intervention
The hunger for narrative is a basic human instinct. Stories help us make sense of the world and give structure and order to our everyday lives. They tell us what is important, what is not and give us a way to connect people's individual experiences to those of others. They help us identify with universal truths. Stories are a way we put a human face on the world, which is something we have always needed and valued. Some of our most profound decisions are made emotionally, not rationally. Stories tap into emotions better than anything else.
