Xanthe Gresham Knight is an international storyteller specialising in folktales and myths from around the corner and around the world.  She summons ancient goddesses, tricksters and heroes not from the past, but from here and now, from you and me.

 '…the storyteller…  an array of props… a fine narrative lucidity… one of the best instances of immersive theatre I’ve seen in ages.'
