ABOUT WYRD SISTER
Meet Angharad, a charismatic nomad and centuries-old witch.
Wandering barefoot over East Anglia, she drags behind her a wheelie bag filled with human heads – trophies she’s collected from lovers, friends and enemies – and passes the years ritually re-enacting all her most cherished memories.
But Angharad is not alone. No matter where she goes, she is always pursued by her ‘Shadow’, a terrifying creature intent upon exposing her darkest secrets.
Accompanied by live drumming, and blending slapstick, mime and shamanic dance, WYRD SISTER is a haunting modern folk tale of the burdens of survival.
