Katy Cawkwell has developed a reputation for dramatic and powerful reworkings of epic material and invites you to enjoy an evening of compelling storytelling she tells this tale, from the great Welsh mythological cycle, the Mabinogion.
Rhiannon follows a woman’s journey from her world into our own, from eternal youth to mortal suffering, from passionate first love to the strength of love rediscovered, from vision to understanding.
Intertwined are the stories of a young king, a brave farmer, an old traveller and a shadowy lord of the Otherworld - not to mention the nine trusted companions, the six treacherous midwives and one of the three golden shoemakers…
Rhiannon was commissioned by the Festival at the Edge and was published by Parthian in 2007.
The performance will be followed by book signings by the author over a free glass of wine.
