This autumn, we will be performing our all-singing, all-dancing, thigh-slappingly funny show based on a classic Cornish tale, back by popular demand after its previous sold out run!
Prepare to be transported to a colourful Penzance from days of yore with Duffy and her friends! This show is based on the Cornish version of Rumpelstiltskin and features a dazzling cast of local and national talent including Johanne Murdock (His Dark Materials, Emmerdale) and Kate Rawson (Hall for Cornwall, Radio 4). Celebrate Penwith folklore with Cherry of Zennor, witch Maggie Figgie (and her piggy!) and of course working-class hero Duffy – can she and her pals triumph over the very Devil?
Cornish cheer, fun for the whole family, an original score by Cornish composer and fan favourite TJ Holmes (Hall for Cornwall, Kneehigh) and stunning design and puppets by Jude Munden (Miracle, English Touring Opera) combine in this hilarious production in the perfect setting of the magical Minack Theatre.

Host, peri-menopausal glamour-puss Bunny Morethan aka Rebecca Mordan (Glastonbury Festival compère, Sky News ‘rent-a-feminist’ and BBC Writers Room) is here to learn all she can about what’s coming down the female line.
In a perfect antidote to the doom and gloom surrounding the menopause, Bunny will lead audiences on a be-sequined exploration of menopause and midlife.

In autumn 2023 and spring 2024, Scary Little Girls travelled across Cornwall from Ruan Minor to Saltash and Penzance to Padstow, inviting people to share their stories—from everyday moments and funny incidents to childhood memories, myths, and legends—at a series of Chatty Cakey Tea events. Now, ‘Karavan An Chi Drolla’ invites you to hear these stories, told by Cornish voices, and reflect on what it means to be Cornish.

The Mayven
2024-11-23 19:00 - 20:30 | The Bread & Roses Theatre, 68 Clapham Manor St, London, London, SW4 6DZ, United Kingdom
After multiple sell-out seasons in Cornwall, the Mayven Festival hits London with a new regular event in association with Olive Gold, Emer O Connor Storyteller and Echo Chamber.
For our inaugural night, we will gather like witches around the flames of feminist festivity as winter draws near. Using songs and storytelling, we will create an evening exploring women’s experiences ranging from the sinister to the sensual, the divine to the downright daft.
Rebecca Mordan, Artistic Director said: “We’ve all had such a brilliant time making and sharing work together for multiple sell-out shows in Cornwall, and given that some of us live in London, it felt like a natural next step to grow this community here and celebrate each other.”
Radhika Aggarwal, founder of Echo Chamber, added: “It truly feels like we are creating something new together – something that holds the spirit and ethos of the original Mayven festivals, and also bringing our own injection of energy and values. The London event will be a continuation of the brilliant work started in Cornwall.”
Our aim is to host a quarterly Mayven event, keeping the theme seasonal, moving around London to connect with a wide variety of creative communities. We invite you to laugh and imbibe with us, and create a sisterly solstice where all kind souls are welcome. At this inaugural event, co-hosts Becca and Radhika will be joined by previous Mayven performers and emerging artists from Central Drama School and the Central St Martin fashion school including…
Max Turner and Funny Women finalist Suse Steed! Having returned from Edinburgh Comedy Festival with her solo show, Suse is soon to feature in the Netflix Documentary “The Spiders Web”.
Salma the Poet has been writing since she was 12. Her poems are based on life experience and she particularly loves sharing pieces focused on female empowerment. She has performed at Frieze Art Fair, Wilderness Festival, amongst many others and enjoys writing for the Poetry Takeaway.
Radhika Aggarwal has loved producing this event and working on the last couple of Mayvens in Cornwall, performing to sell-out audiences in theatres, eco-parks and gardens. Championing female led storytelling and making space for her fellow creatives and encouraging bold ideas is what she is all about! More @echochamberaudio too.
Alice Robinson/Olive Gold has been writing melodies since learning to hum. Her themes are myth, memory and matters of the heart, all with a strong core of feminism and joy. Her voice has been described as ‘like a cup of tea’, which she takes as the highest of the compliments.

Salon du Chocolat - Paignton
2025-03-08 18:30 - 21:30 | Paignton Library, Great Western Rd, Paignton, TQ4 5AG, United Kingdom
🍫 When chocolate was first brought to England in the 1600s, it was considered a taboo substance, enjoyed only by the risque and elite in private salons.
Some of our finest literature was also once considered too provocative for public consumption and was heard in similar salon environments by only the boldest of ears.
Join us as we recreate these intimate environs, combining mouthwatering chocolate treats with tales of the secret, banned and scandalous from authors such as Lord Byron, John Donn, Angela Carter and Joanne Harris.
Performed, read and sung to you by highly acclaimed storytellers, the Salon du Chocolat invites you to succumb to a literary seduction! Can you think of a better way to celebrate International Women’s day?
