Fairytales for Grownups: The Devil's Purse Theatre & Performing Arts


Performance storytelling by Dominic Kelly Music by Bridget Marsden (violin) and Leif Ottosson (accordion)

They’re waiting to prove just how hard it is to tell that they are there... On hot summer nights their world is a breath away and on long winter evenings they have far too much time on their hands.

Dominic Kelly, Bridget Marsden & Leif Ottosson fuse storytelling performance and Nordic music in a wild journey into the cinema of the imagination. A lost traveller finds himself guided through the mountain mists; a farmer marries an apparently perfect wife; a drunk gambles with a purse that is forever full, and an anxious mother watches her child turn to skin and bone…

Come spend some time in the company of Themselves, the Gentry Below, the Good Folk, the sylphs, the sprites, the fairies, and a labyrinth of stories.

Suitable for adults (14+)

DOMINIC KELLY is a performance storyteller whose dynamic style has captivated audiences across the UK, Sweden, and around the world. He has performed in many prominent venues and festivals including The Barbican and the National Theatre in London, The Times Literature Festival, and on tour internationally from India to the Arctic Circle. 

'Compelling' The Times

Bridget Marsden (violin) & Leif Ottosson (accordion), two rising young stars of the Swedish folk scene, form a duo whose interpretations of Nordic folk music take place in a filmic borderland of tunes and soundscapes. Their critically acclaimed debut album Mountain Meeting was nominated for Folk Music Album of the Year at the Swedish Manifestgalan 2016, and for Best Album at the Swedish Folk & World Music Awards 2016, where Bridget was also awarded Artist of the Year 2016.
