LIVE IN THE ROOM and ON THE ZOOMThe Forest of Chance Encounters
Or: She Gave Me Pizza With Murder In Her Heart
There are Lurve Stories and there are Anti-Lurve Stories. This show cunningly combines successful love, unsuccessful love, and Run-for-the-Hills-they’re-a-Psycho love. One lad chases a hare into the forest and stumbles upon a mysterious palace with a silent, occasionally naked, yet heavily veiled chatelaine; a cattleman turns out to have a secret past; a third man loses his wife whilst chasing his wedding ring. And the fourth story? Well, that’s a chance for the women to answer back.
Not all the stories have happy endings: prison, pistols, poison, and skulls will feature, there are five narrators, two of them dead, and not every handsome hero gets his just deserts. The Forest of Chance Encounters is one long tale melded together from four stories in Italo Calvino’s collection of Italian Folktales: - four boys go into a wood, but not all of them come out again.
We will be live and in the room and also streaming via Zoom. We're loving our international reach and enjoy the 'shout outs' to our global audience. So, if you're willing and able, schmooze on down to the Imperial Rooms in Matlock and join us live.

We are delighted to tell you that soup, cakes, teas coffees etc are available from our kitchen . We do still operate with good old fashioned cash, kerching! so bring your purse to cross our palms with silver. You are still most welcome to bring a bottle of something with you.
There'll also be a tune or two from Cage Of Crows and stories from our current resident tellers.
