SUMMARY:Yde and Olive: a Medieval Love Story in Lancaster
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 4th December \nThe Stables\, private venue in central Lancaster. \nEmail clairehannah1@googlemail.com to book and for address. \nSuggested donation £10 – £15\, \nArrive at 7pm for 7.30. \n… \nThe baby’s first clothes were wide bands of wool.  Their small limbs were bound\, tenderly and close\, to help them grow strong.  To help them grow straight. \nFrom their cradle\, they could hear the uttered prayers of a priest\, the rush of poured water. \nThe baby blinked as drops of holy water flicked across their brow. \nThey were given a name. Yde. \nAnd with it came flocking other words. ‘She’.  And ‘Her’. \nBaby Yde scrunched up her nose\, and yawned. \n  \nYde grew up reading of knights\, sieges and her own mother’s daring deeds.  So when faced with an unwanted marriage\, she knew she’d rather fly across the frozen sea than sit around and wait for it to happen.  Disguising herself as a man\, Yde cuts her own paths to freedom\, fighting battles\, outwitting thieves\, winning over kings and finding comfort in her new clothing.  Until one day\, she meets her match in Olive: a woman whose spirit is every bit as courageous as her own… \nStoryteller and academic Daisy Black presents a remarkable thirteenth-century tale of disguise\, high adventure\, public baths\, gender fluidity\, straight-talking angels\, and the power of queer love. \nWeaving together medieval narrative with modern folk song\, this performance will take you from birthing chambers to military barracks\, through moonlit country lanes and woods stained with slaughter\, and from quiet chapels to court chambers crackling with gossip. \nThis show is 90 minutes long\, and suitable for ages 13 and up.  Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult. \n  \n  \nFeedback from the world premiere at the Gender and Medieval Studies conference\, Lincoln: \n‘Incredibly inspiring and moving’. \n‘The story itself was so complex and layered\, and Daisy’s delivery made it incredibly captivating’ \n‘A beautiful mix of pathos and humour. I found it mesmerising and moving’. \n‘Incredible storytelling…medieval queer and trans joy’. \n‘I loved hearing about medieval queer history and experiencing such a beautifully told story!  Immersive and full of suspense and empathy.’ \n‘I was not expecting the tale to be so creative and hilarious! Delightful blending of historical facts\, audience interactivity and joy.  Helps the audience understand queer experiences and historic struggles and awakens the past.’ \n‘Such a powerful and accessible way to share a story and create something so beautiful about tolerance.’
