Last night Sue and I accompanied by our daughter Holly were privileged to see the fantastic storyteller Jason Buck re-tell the tales and mythology behind Slaine - The Horned God at The Assembly Rooms , Ludlow.
I had seen this performance highlighted on Facebook earlier this year and suggested that I might like to go and see it. Holly and Sue bought the tickets for me as an early birthday present and even though I had seen reviews of this one-man on stage performance and was looking forward to seeing Jason for the first time, I was 'blown away' by the storytelling and enjoyed every minute of the two hour performance.
One man claiming a huge cinemas stage and without any props holding the audience of over two hundred in the palm of his hands - true traditional storytelling at its very best 10 out of 10.
Just days before at my grandsons birthday party, we were asked by Finley and Charlie 'who are you going to see?' Jason Buck - the storyteller. 'Oh' said Charlie, 'we've seen him, he's performed at our school and he lives not far away from us in Leamington Spa!'
So this confirms our belief that Finley aged 11 and Charlie aged just 8 are true connoisseurs of classic comics and traditional storytelling!
For more information about Jason, see this Facebook page.
Finally. I am aware that Jason is planning an on-line performance for March 22. For details see this link. If you can not see him in person, I guarantee that this will be a very special performance.
