In this gripping show, master-storyteller Hugh Lupton and acclaimed cellist Sarah Moody interweave tales drawing from Christian, Jewish and Islamic sources; Adam and Eve, Solomon and Sheba, Tobias and the Angel, Job and his Comforters... stories that underpin our culture, told with vigour and humour, with rich language and deep magic.
Inspired by the music of all three Abrahamic traditions, we're reminded that at the core of these cultures (that have been at loggerheads for most of the last Millennium) lies a shared mythology. This is a chance to hear these ancient tales with fresh ears...
