Fairytales for Grown-ups: HOW (NOT) TO DIE long ago in Finland

**The Crick Crack Club presents** **HOW (NOT) TO DIE - long ago in Finland** **Performance storytelling by Sarah Liisa Wilkinson** By the edge of a deep forest and the shore of a biting sea, an old man sets his mind on a journey to the underworld - to learn the secrets of the dead. But – and this is where it gets tricky – he wants to stay alive. Sarah Liisa Wilkinson brings you tales from the twisting roots of Finnish myth and folklore: a woman spinning her own iron hair; a shapeshifting sage; a giant, fat with spells, sleeping deep in the earth; a coat of fire, gloves of pain – dangerous tools and hard lessons on how to live, how to let go… and how to come back. *‘Effervescent, funny and refreshing’ ★★★★ EVERYTHING THEATRE* **Content:** This performance contains references to death, threat, and violence contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype, and metaphor. **Duration:** 75mins (TBC)
