Haunting melodies and dramatic storytelling - Friday 4 March - venue change

Please note the change of venue to Dorchester ARTS


The dreamlike myths of Ancient Greece - set to haunting cello melodies, come to Dorchester ARTS this Friday, March 4th when two members of the wonderful Devils Violin return for an evening of storytelling and music.

Daniel Morden and Sarah Moody are well known to Dorchester Arts audiences following their sell-out performance of the Singing Bones with the Devils violin last year. Their shows are quite magical. Using the most basic components of theatre they conjure unforgettable images.

The combination of voice and haunting melody is perfectly suited to the poignant, dreamlike myths of ancient Greece. These timeless stories of love and loss still have the power to move us. This captivating performance features some of the most famous tales of the classical world, such as Demeter & Persephone, Orpheus in the Underworld, Midas and Echo & Narcissus.


The evening opens with the premiere of Dorchester Arts' latest children's animation - Perseus and the Medusa - made by a group of children, aged 8-14 over two days at half term with community filmmaker Alastair Nisbet .
