Tales Before Time - In Development*
Of the six surviving Celtic nations Wales is often overlooked, but the Cyfarwydd (Storytellers) preserved a lush history that was already old by the time it was scribed: Tales of the legendary Arthur when his fame was just being forged, of the Fair Family who would lure you into a realm not bound by time, of a wizard with frightening speech who summoned trees into battle, and a Witch whose stolen potion created the greatest Bard ever known. In this modern adaptation of an ancient oral tradition, feast on a theatrical assortment of myths, poetry, and folklore from the Welsh Celtic continuum. Featuring the following tales: The Tale of Taliesin
The Search for Mabon (excerpt from How Culhwch won Olwen) Manawydan Son of Llŷr (The third branch of the Mabinogi) The Fairy Rings The Red Dragon of Wales The Battle of the Trees (excerpts from Cad Goddeu) With original songs written by yours truly inspired by the Taliesin Poetic Tradition! |
