Storytelling at The Ropetackle - Italo Calvino's folktales retold

The Ropetackle runs a regular monthly storytelling group (for adults), and this one should be brilliant!
Quite a few of us went along to their various events last year, usually on the 2nd (or 3rd) Monday of the month. They have a terrific variety of guest storytellers, and it's always great fun. It's usually held in the intimate mezzanine space, but occasionally moves to the main space downstairs if it sells out particularly fast.
This month's show has a world-renowned storyteller performing a retelling of Italo Calvino's celebrated folktales (translated into English, lol!)
Tickets are just £10 - a great (and very reasonably priced!) way to spend a Monday night!

If you've never seen a professional storyteller weaving their magic, give it a try - you might get hooked, like me - it really is a unique experience!

Get your ticket at:-

and NB I'll be collecting £2 Meetup fee (contactless) from all attendees, unless you want to pay an annual sub of £10.

"“She gave me pizza with murder in her heart.”
Four boys go into a wood, but not all of them come out again. One lad chases a hare into the forest and stumbles upon a mysterious palace with a silent, occasionally naked, heavily veiled chatelaine. The next, a cattleman, turns out to have a secret past. A third man loses his wife whilst chasing his wedding ring. And the fourth story? Well, that’s a chance for the women to answer back.
Not all the stories have happy endings: prison, pistols, poison, and skulls will feature.
There are five narrators, two of them dead, and not every handsome hero gets his just deserts.
The Forest of Chance Encounters is one long tale melded together from four stories in Italo Calvino’s collection of Italian Folktales, masterfully told by performer storyteller Sarah Rundle.
There are Lurve Stories and there are Anti-Lurve Stories. This show cunningly combines successful love, unsuccessful love, and Run-for-the-Hills-they’re-a-Psycho love.
Sarah Rundle got locked in a laboratory but tunnelled her way to freedom. She ran away to drama school, and has been a storyteller for nineteen years. She has performed for the British Council, Wellcome Foundation, Geffrye Museum, Kew Gardens, the National Trust, Stockholm’s Fabula Story Café, the Nivesh Festival in Delhi, Festival at the Edge, and Beyond The Border."
