About

Escape from the humdrum into a world of adventure with the irrepressible Sarah Rundle. Mischievous shape-shifting beasts followed by rebellious tunnelling wives. Picture-theatre, comedy, and audience singalong combine for hilarious uproar and riotous fun. An East-West fusion like never before.

First up

Naughty Japanese Badgers:

Theyre Naughty. Theyre Japanese. Theyre not actually Badgers.

But they will steal your horse, tip over your bins, set up a romance fraud and shape-shift into an acrobatic teakettle. Sarah uses the ancient Japanese art of Kamishibai picture-storytelling, plus a generous dollop of humour to tell how some unlikely heroes got the better of these mythological trouble-makers.

Followed by

Women Who Bore Through Walls:

What happens when your husband locks you up and it's the 16th century and there's no Hooman Rights You burrow, that's what.

Stories of women, from Italy, Morocco, and England, unjustly imprisoned by jealous spouses, all using their intelligence and grit to survive, escape, and thrive. With tips on tunnelling, staying sane, and where to hide your jewellery in an emergency.

Brilliantly irreverent Subversive Sparkles with a particularly glorious English humour
