Led by Rob Gildon and Wonderful Beast's Alys Kihl, with composer Martina Schwarz on accordion, the performances are set within an immersive arboreal environment created by film-maker Emily Richardsonwww.emilyrichardson.org.uk. Emma Bernard, director and tale-spinner, will cast us back into a world where trees could talk and Green Ladies danced in the moonlight, when elders were witches and oak trees Gods of Thunder.
