LOST MYTHOS

LOST MYTHOS

Thursday, 9th, 7.30pm

A night of comedy, music and poetry for the ages, Lost Mythos is a parish council meeting like no other. Fresh from their recent album collaboration, the haunting soundscapes of Mara Simpson and the words of acclaimed poet JLM Morton will take us back to a weird, forgotten Albion. Meanwhile, comic Emma Kernahan guides us through this mythical meeting agenda, blending unruly local folklore and stories from modern rural life.

Ideal for fans of history, magic, and neighbourhood Facebook groups.
