Kith and Kin / Cyð and Cynn
Join us around the fire for Kith and Kin - a warm-hearted solo show that centres on a day in the life of an everyday 9th century Saxon woman, a day that turns out to be unexpectedly and spectacularly anything but “everyday”. From milking the stubborn cow to seeing off Viking invaders and preparing for a great feast, the Saxon hall and the vibrant community who knew it are brought vividly to life in this innovative, immersive performance. Performed in a mix of spoken and sung Modern English and Old English, Kith and Kin is a delight for adult audiences and young people 6+.
There will be a bar selling locally produced cider, mead and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Hot drinks and snacks will also be available to be purchased from our shop.
"A perfectly pitched window into the past, showing us that we have more in common with life 1200 years ago than perhaps we realise." - Nick White, Wassail Theatre
"So engaging!" - Wells Festival of Literature
