Rachel Rose Reid: And They Lived...

Louis Hartshorn and Brian Hook Present

Who says adults don't need bedtime stories? Welcome to Rachel Rose Reid's world of princesses, giants and faraway lands, in which the epic meets with the intimate; the lyrical with the conversational; the poignant with the just plain silly. In her charming, unpretentious manner, Reid will indulge your child-like cravings for adventure and fantasy, tempting your curiosity and tugging at your heartstrings. Musical interludes - in which Reid performs a range of material, from Disney to Joni Mitchell - showcase a powerful and affective voice, while casual chit-chat with the audience reveals a humorous, engaging and intelligent young woman. A delightfully nostalgic way to end the evening, 'And they lived...' will send you home to a night of mysterious and exotic dreams.

Pleasance Courtyard, 5 - 25 Aug (not 17), 10.45pm, prices vary, fpp 223
