Modern fairytale comes to Broadbent

Arletty Theatre present Quilter and the Ghost at the Wickenby venue on Wednesday, February 21.

The show is a piece of warm, nostalgic musical-theatre about a reclusive hoarder and her strange but sweet ghost, who together in their ramshackle home collect real stories of strong and inspiring women lest they be lost to history.

A glorious patchwork story-quilt forms the colourful backdrop to the play, each fragment of fabric a remembered life, some truly affecting and powerful.

With lovely, emotive folk songs and well-crafted storytelling, this is an extraordinary, comic and compelling modern fairytale.

Tickets cost £10 and £9 from www.broadbenttheatre.org or call 0300 400 0101. Doors and bar open at 7pm.
