The Space Between VI: The Green Man of Knowledge

Thursday 7 August, Sweet Venues at Keiller Centre

It’s nearly Space Between season again, and some of you may have noticed I am on a wee bit of a Jack theme recently.

There is one Jack tale, the Green Man of Knowledge, which has been haunting my brain since my early days of learning about folk tales. Geordie Stewart told it to Hamish Henderson in 1954, and it’s one of the longest and strangest Jack tales in the Scottish tradition.

Telling one big story as your whole session, when you've been pushing yourself in all sorts of strange mental directions already this year but get most of your good feedback on pulling together short stories into a theme would be - some might say - very foolish.

As Jack would say... HERE’S FOR IT

🦢🦢🦢

Jack sets out on the road to a land where everything is alive and nothing is certain, and into the web of magic and trickery spun by the Green Man of Knowledge. And at the centre of the story, transforming matter and landscapes and her own body in a constant cycle of shapeshifting, we find the Green Man’s Daughter.

PS Who let me have a gig the day before the Burryman?! I promise not to make it a whole hour of me yelling about how much I love the Burryman.
