Catch up on what we've been doing

Cowboy Graves – Scottish International Storytelling Festival

Wildcard Stories in collaboration with The Village Storytelling Centre present…

Two deserts on the other side of the world, two wanderers over fifty years apart and two stories entwine to explore the search for home and the struggle for survival in this contemporary storytelling piece. Strangers in strange lands battle the presence of a skeleton, a tin of corned beef and the changes that occur when you’re lost in a sea of sand.

Featuring live original music by Monday Soutar, whose unique experimental country music takes inspiration from the Americana West and the wild places of the world.

Followed by open mic storytelling hosted by The Village Storytelling Centre
