SUMMARY:The Bayeux Tapestry: The Full Yarn at Wolverhampton Literature Festival
DESCRIPTION:The beasts of battle gather in the tapestry borders.Ravens\, wolves\, eagles.\nAll creatures – common\, fantastic\, wild\, domestic –\nhold their stitched breath\nas the battle gathers\nWaiting. \nUntil at last\, William and Harold face each other over some few feet of linen. \nThe embroidered King wants to finish his church at Westminster.  The English Earl and Norman Duke want the English throne.  The hawk wants to be out in the fields\, hunting for mice. \nStoryteller Daisy Black provides a hawk’s eye view of the Bayeux Tapestry\, where kings battle\, oaths are broken and wheels of cheese are stolen by crafty foxes.  Interweaving the fables of the Tapestry’s margins with Old English poetry and folk song\, this show stitches together a vivid and moving account of the events leading up to 1066. \nSeventy metres of history in a single hour! \nTickets: https://wolvesliteraturefestival.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173670752

SUMMARY:Yde and Olive at Leamington Literary Society
DESCRIPTION:Oddfellows Hall\, 22 New Street\, Leamington Spa CV31 1HP \nBooking details: https://searchout.warwickshire.gov.uk/group/251/leamington-literary-society \n  \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.’ \n

SUMMARY:Unruly Woman at Durham University
DESCRIPTION:Joachim Room\, College of St Hild and St Bede\, 6.15-7.30pm \n‘Unruly Woman’ will be performed as a public accessible part of the MEMSA conference. \nThis is a free event\, but if you would like to make an optional donation in aid of Harbour refuges\, you can do so while booking your place on the conference. \n‘Unruly Women’ is a one-woman storytelling show performed by Dr Daisy Black\, a Lecturer in English at Wolverhampton University. Daisy presents an indecorous assortment of medieval tales from around Europe about women who gain the upper hand – or\, occasionally\, the upper arse. These are stories of sex\, of disguise and deception\, and of women finding creative\, naughty and cunning ways to overcome the restrictions placed upon them by their gender and class. Interlacing medieval fabliaux and romance with bawdy folk songs\, this one-woman performance pays homage to literature’s original ‘nasty women’. The performance lasts for one hour and is suitable for ages 13 and up. \nThis performance is being run in aid of Harbour refuges\, County Durham\, Registered Charity Number 1086897\, 15 Whitburn Street\, Hartlepool\, TS24 7QR. Harbour works with families and individuals who have been affected by domestic violence\, to provide the support and safety they need. You can read more about the work Harbour do here. \nIf you are a member of the public who would like to reserve a space for the performance\, please go to the site below and select the ‘Performance Only’ booking option. \nhttps://www.dur.ac.uk/conference.booking/details/?id=985

SUMMARY:Broken Shells at Wolverhampton Literature Festival
DESCRIPTION:BROKEN SHELLS: A MEDIEVAL SEA STORY \nBantock House Museum\, Wolverhampton \nSat 27th January – 1.30pm \n60mins \n£8 / £6 concessions – Available online from here\, tel 0870 320 7000 or in person from Wolverhampton Art Gallery. \n——————————————— \nIn a little room in Rome\, a bride sits at her window.  The deep windowsill is covered with litter – a scrap of dried seaweed\, the jagged edge of a pink scallop\, scattered grains of sand. Her eyes are fixed on the ocean outside. \nShe has always loved the sea. \nBut now the day has come.  Yesterday\, she wept.  She wept to be sent away from friends who care for her\, sent to be a foreigner in strange land and bound to a man she doesn’t know. \nShe wept because\, of course\, everyone knows that all husbands are good. \nAnd the waves rush up\, and the stars rotate\, and the waves pull back again. \n——————————————— \nStoryteller and academic Daisy Black brings to life Chaucer’s Man of Law’s Tale – a tale of love\, fear\, passion\, violence and the queer\, cold seas which roil and coil between nations. \nCustance\, who has beauty without pride\, youth without foolishness and strength without tyranny\, finds herself cast adrift at sea.  Forced to endure hostile lands and people\, and carve paths for herself among strange cultures\, the strongest of Chaucer’s heroines strings her strength across the oceans\, telling us what it is to love and to survive. \nSet among the eddies and currents of medieval romance\, classical mythology and English folk song\, this one-woman show tells a haunting\, visceral\, occasionally funny tale that will whirl round your senses\, lace your tongue with salt and take you across the sapphire-worked seas to walk with the creatures at the far edges of the map. \nThe story is told in the Edwardian drawing room of Bantock House.  The performance is one hour long and is suitable for ages 13 and up. \n
