Goddess Tales
Goddess Tales
The Goddess Tales cross the uncharted boundary between storytelling, one-woman show and theatre, combining mythology and playground rhyme with contemporary material and personal narrative.
The performances teeter between the sharply hilarious and the devastatingly provocative and deal as much with wigs, cat litter and the search for happiness, as with Indo-European fairytale and uncensored mythology.

Gresham is a truly great storyteller, who unwraps each tale like the petals of a lotus flower. At the end of the evening you leave with something beautiful created in your own mind British Theatre Review
