Cat Storytelling For Adults

Bawdy StoriesWelcome to the medieval market town of Much Meddling on the Marsh where everyone is up to something or other! Pregnant priests, greedy wives, frustrated husbands, sexy wandering minstrels, enchanted chamber pots and shoes with scarlet ribbons – they’re all here, tossed together in a saucy stew and sprinkled with sin!

Bawdy Stories is Cat’s foray into the timeless battle of the sexes. Hugely entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a glorious collection of really old tales, many with a classical pedigree (Chaucer, Boccaccio, the Arabian Nights) And they may be hundreds of years old, yet you’d swear she was talking about someone who lives round the corner…

Adults only (16+) Contains sexual references, ribald images and earthy language.

‘A storming success. The belly laughs transformed our blushes and it was absolutely priceless watching an eclectic mix of villagers relishing every word.’ – Village promoter, 2006.

‘A great show – really entertaining and fun! Cat is a tremendous raconteuse and knows how to work the audience. A true delight!’ Audience member, Derbyshire 2006.

Kissing The Wind

Cat Storytelling For Adults

CatTales of love and longing

Kissing The Wind is a glorious, whirlwind adventure that ties three tales by the enigmatic Marie de France into an enchanting love knot. In Guigemar, a wounded knight searches for the only woman who can cure him. In Yonec, a secret love affair ends in tragedy and in Lanval, a handsome knight who charms two beautiful women finds himself in an impossible situation.

Kissing The Wind is an exhilarating, sensual journey through a medieval landscape. It is richly enchanting, cinematic, heart warming, lyrical – and elegantly bawdy! If you love language, you’ll love this.

This show was devised in Paris and inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries in the city’s Cluny Museum.

Performed with dulcimer, recorder and song.

For adults only (16+)

Reviews

‘Saucy as well as spellbinding’ – The Times

‘The audience was enthralled and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening’ – Bath Literature Festival

‘Cat’s tales of knights, maidens, love, lust, magic, courage and adventure proved to be an enthralling experience for me, and so far as I was able to judge, for everyone else who was there. We were all hanging on her every word! Told with music and song, they became an intimate theatrical experience which was so good that I even forgot the shortcomings of the hall chairs!’ – Village review, Bucks
