On Saturday March 12, 2011 at the Whitehorse Pub in Ashwellthorpe in Norfolk, Dave Tong, the Yarnsmith of Norwich will be performing:
The Shaming of Agnes Leaman
In 1561 Agnes Leaman was processed through the streets of Norwich before being ducked three times over her head in the river Wensum. She was just one of many men and women who were punished at this time for 'ill rule' and 'evil behaviour'. Theirs were the petty crimes of drunkenness, theft and other misbehaviour. They were real people and this night their deeds will be revealed from court records and the folk stories of long, long ago!
The performance runs from 8.00 -8.50, followed by Marion Leeper of the Cambridge Storytellers performing:
The Kitchen Cat
A mixture of folk tale and family/historical stories, described it as 'a romp through the folk tales and cocktail dresses of post-war Europe
Tickets priced £6.00 and along with further info are availiable from Lisa Vincent on:
