Free FreeLeasungspell brings to life the mind-set and vision of a world filled with animism, rapture and omens. It is a tale of twisting digressions, dreamscapes and stories folded within stories and of language itself. It is also an anti-epic, a fool’s yarn, a small tale of a nobody wandering alone.
It’s AD 657, and Northumbria is one of the seven warring Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, a place where the traditions of Celtic Christianity, Roman Christianity, pagan beliefs and magic clash – where blood feuds and brutality rage, and political intrigue festers. A monk named Oswin treads a path across the volatile landscape as he journeys towards Streonshalh bearing secret letters from the Abbess Hild.
Live performance developed with support from Arts Council England.
