Storyteller and academic Daisy Black 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, of arse-kissing, and of women finding creative, naughty and cunning ways to overcome the restrictions placed upon them by their gender and class.

​

Interlacing medieval fables 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 16 and up.
