Event information

Marion who gave us a spellbinding evening 5 years ago makes a welcome return, now in duo with Jess Law ...

Meet the peerless knight Bradamante, fighting her way through the dilemmas that face every powerful woman. A mixture of surrealist fantasy and heart-breaking tragedy, this romp through a farrago of mythology asks questions that are as relevant to women today as they were to the court ladies of sixteenth-century Italy who were its first audience: terrorism, immigration, weapons of mass destruction, and the perfect recipe for fish pie.
This show is based on the Italian romance Orlando Furioso, 500 years old, but as edgy and modern as if it was written this morning.

Marion has told live improvised stories in and around Cambridge for many
years, and has toured shows for grown-ups at clubs and festivals around the UK and the US.


Jessica Law, she of the one and only steel mandelele, specialises in beautiful, disturbing, theatrical folk songs; her melodies will haunt you as much as her stories.

“ funny, thought provoking and delightful. Never a dull moment.”
“ Marion Leeper's brilliant delivery and Jessica Law's humorous songs... Magic is woven between these two highly skilled performers to give a wonderful evening that will make you laugh and think in equal measure” Hannah Brailsford.

Doors open 7.00 for 7.30 at Quinton Village Hall, Northampton.
