The Spanking Goddess and Other Discarded Tales

Clare Murphy • Professional company

60 minutes•Netherbow Theatre
Storyteller Clare Murphy leads a romp through the untold myths of the Celts, exhuming the Celtic canon to bring the wild women who never made the cut, back into the light. A shapeshifter spanks her opponents, a queen balances on the point of a spear, heroes are defeated by mother-daughter warriors, and we witness the first divorce... and the woman won. These aren't your regular myths, but wicked tales of badass deities, feral fighters, unorthodox sex, hairy bodies and goddess-on-goddess battles – not for the faint-hearted and definitely for grown-ups. 'Masterly storytelling!' (CultureWhisper.com).
