Kan Ya Ma Kan: Group performance of Moroccan Stories

A recording of our December '11 performance is now available, priced at a mere £5 for the double CD. If you would like a copy please contact us here.

Audience comments included:
"great evening of stories- a sharp performance from all the performers to give a blend of humour, passion and gore! An evening to be enjoyed again"

"What a magical evening! Thanks to everyone for your wonderful stories- they continue to linger in my imagination. The Bakehouse felt exotic last night. When I walked out onto the rainy streets I felt as if I'd just come back from holiday!"

Saturday 18th February 2012, 5 - 8pm: Open House, Forest Hill

Claire and Jude kick off as hosts for the first Open House of the year. See Open House details here

The Project Grimm recordings

At the last Open House, we recorded our contributions to Project Grimm, the creation of an international oral archive of all the stories from the Grimm brothers Children's and Household Tales to celebrate its first publication in 1812. Project Grimm will be setting up a channel on YouTube, where all the recordings will be available to sample or listen in full, but until then, you can find out more and listen to our recordings by clicking here.
