About the show
Salt and Light is an 80-minute storytelling and folk show from The LAMPS Collective, performed at Palmerston Place Church. Set in the fishing community of Capernaum, Lake Galilee, AD 30, the piece follows five members of one family as they struggle to make sense of a radical new teacher walking their shores. Told around a campfire through shanties, stories, and spoken word, it brings to life the tales of the first disciples. Tickets are £12, with a concession of £8, and the show is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Campfire storytelling at its most immediate — shanties, spoken word, and five voices wrestling with something they cannot quite explain. A thoughtful, warm evening for those drawn to folk and narrative theatre.
