About A Book of Spells
A Book of Spells interweaves poetry, literary stories of magic realism and stories of personal experience. The poetry is taken from Gardens of Eden by Michelene Wandor; the stories of magic realism from a collection of short stories by author Sara Maitland (a collection which also provides the title for T.W.P. show). The tone is fierce, the content edgy and disturbing, lush, soothing, and finally, filled with delight.
The show is a story of many, many stories. Listeners find themselves confronted with the witch in Hansel and Gretel - still living in the forest; still, through all the ages (surprisingly) tending to young women's needs. Then there's the mother who gains the power (quite literally) to soar through the nighttime; the two old women, tending their garden - and their broomsticks - in their cottage at the end of the road.
Above all, there are the two tellers, struggling to build a life together, seeing themselves reflected in what they are reading, desperate to put their demons to rest and find peace.
