“How to Spin Enchantment” – Tim Ralphs

Spin and weave the tangled roving into one thread of magic.

Snap the scissors shut right before the happily ever after.

17th Century Italian Giambattista Basile travelled from Venice to Naples collecting the most marvelous fairy tales. Tim Ralphs rouses them from their inky sleep in a joyful performance that dances from the frivolous to the magical.

This is a panoply of some of the most lyrical, characterful and hysterical fairytale stories ever offered up for performance. Seven Godmothers, a sleeping Prince, a weeping girl and an enchanted doll that makes its owner crave more stories. MORE STORIES!”

Tim was the British Award for Storytelling Excellence winner 2012 and Fringe Guru, Edinburgh Fringe 2014
