Into the Woods: In the Footsteps of Thomas the Rhymer
Family Events
(Sat 26 Oct: 1:30pm)
A new take on the ancient border ballad of Thomas the Rhymer with specially composed music performed by multi-instrumentalist and composer John Sampson. Thomas encounters the beautiful Queen of Elfland who offers him a choice of three paths. We join in the mystery and magic of Thomas’s story with singing and playing, but who can spot the magic treasures? Narrated by actor Julia Munrow with music by Pete Baynes and Wendy Weatherby, and bronze sculptures created by artist Anna Caro.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
