Pot Luck at the Undercroft this September

The Giant and the Cobbler from The Origins of the Wrekin 

 A Shropshire tale adapted into a story about the origins of of Norwich castle mound

Thanks to all those who joined us on Wednesday July 4th for 'All Creatures Great and Small'. Numbers were down a bit, probably because everyone was going bonkers over the Olympic Torch passing through Norwich, but all who came had a great night. The regulars did us proud with stories about creatures from myth and legend, including a cowardly dragon and a giant who for some reason (Never established) wished to drown the good people of Yarmouth. We even got to hear tales of insects - From some sexed up ants who wanted to 'get it on' with an elephant and a teenage cricket with issues! Liam treated us to a superb story of how the Son of Adam tricked a Lion, aka 'the Son of the Sultan of Cruel Beasts' and we even got to hear two new tellers: Jo performed the Jabberwocky superbly and Tobi who told a jest about a blue dragon living in a blue world. I won't spoil it by telling the punch line.

The Jabberwocky from Through the Looking Glass

  Lewis Carrol, 1871

BUT NOTE: 

There won't gathering in August as Jurnets closes for its summer holidays and we will be back on Wednesday September 5th for a night of 'Pot Luck'. In other words there will be no theme as such, rather we'll be telling tales inspired by the one that went before. It might be a character, a situation, a place or time, or anything else in a story that grabs the next teller. To be honest I and other regulars often do that anyway, but i'll be interesting to see where it takes us!  

Here's hoping you all have a great summer and we'll see you all in September 5th

Remember, 7.30 for and 8.00 start. (Lest you upset Jim!)
