Stories Alive
Join British storyteller Eden as he returns to Winnipeg to tell some of the darker tales from the old north. Today we see Thor and the Norse gods as heroes, but like a lot of the ancient gods, they were full of faults and more human in their anger, jealousy and spite.
Hear of murderous gods taking revenge by pouring snake venom into their enemies’ eyes and parents taunting their offspring with the death of their loved ones. Back in dark ages these tales were for everyone, and scaring the life out of kids was not a problem.
One man, a few stories – all that’s missing is the fire we won’t be sat around.
From the creator who brought the award-winning Buckets of Blood – Fairy Tales Not for Kids.
“A natural storyteller with a twinkle in his eye.” – Fringe TheatreFest blog
A simple, yet very entertaining one-person show. Full of great stories. 45 minutes well spent.
Amazing storytelling with a lot of energy. Happy I didn’t miss it.
The perfect start to the festival; a storytelling experience equal parts gruesome, hilarious, and self-aware. Being in the audience felt like hanging out in the cozy living room of your friend whose special interest is norse mythology (in a good way). Eden is a Fringe favourite, and for a reason!
Eden is a fabulous storyteller and you can always tell how interested he is in the subject of his show. Hilarious delivery, interesting facts sprinkled throughout and just enough tangents on the side to make it feel like you’re listening to a really passionate friend tell you about their favorite topic. Always a must see in our house!
