Sally Pomme Clayton: The Mighty Goddess

Sly, subversive, spectacular storytelling by pioneer Sally Pomme Clayton evoking goddesses from across the globe. She mixes myths with memories, spells with songs, comedy with ceremony. These stories have not been tamed and are x-rated for adults only!

"Sally Pomme Clayton is one of the country’s most highly regarded storytellers…she awakens the imagination of the audience.” The Independent

Pomme brings the ancient myths to contemporary life with vivid spoken-word, strange musical sounds, gesture and ritual.
Meet: Vesta the fiery virgin; Cybele the mother goddess who fathered a child; Ishtar the goddess who journeys to the Land of the Dead.
Follow the goddess from creator to crone, virgin to warrior in myths about lust, destruction and rebirth.
Each member of the audience receives a message from the goddess's oracle to take home!

The stories are drawn from Sally Pomme Clayton's latest book ‘The Mighty Goddess - World Myths’ (The History Press 2023) — 52 goddess myths combining myth and art with fabulous papercuts by artist Sophie Herxheimer.
