IRISH storyteller Clare Muireann Murphy will act as an intermediary between these two worlds in The Crick Crack Club's Others From The Other Side at the York Theatre Royal Studio on Thursday (March 22).
The Irish landscape is full of stories peopled by "shape-shifters and once-god-fairies" who move seamlessly between our own and a decidedly other world, and Clare will guide her audience through a liminal landscape of grown-up fairytale, where the light is a little too bright and the dark is very, very dark.
Born in Dublin, Clare has lived in Spain, America, Galway, London and now Bristol and this dynamic and witty performer has performed in festivals and theatres across the world, with her repertoire extending from her beloved Irish mythology to world folklore, anecdotes, fables and personal and original stories.
And no, she doesn't believe in fairies, but they are there in her stories, along with "the other people", changelings, stolen children, strange marriages, theft, deception and wild curses.
Tickets for Clare's 7.45pm performance can be booked on 01904 623568 or at yorktheatreroyal.co.uk.
