Mochyn Myrddin/Merlin's Pig is a fusion of traditional storytelling, physical theatre and music It is a solo performance based on the life of Myrddin, his encounters with magical animals, exploring the living myth, and its relevance to our current times through tales which restore sense of meaning, wonder and hope.
We find Myrddin seeking the sanctuary of an apple tree, a remedy for disturbing futuristic visions triggered by the Battle of Arderydd. He befriends a wolf and a pig and the stories they tell each other unearth deep memories of an ancient sow goddess, a gallant quest involving the pursuit of the giant boar Twrch Trwyth, Myrddins own early life and his mysterious conception.
1500 years later a young single mum receives a visitation that will influence the course of her life, ultimately leading her to Wales and to Hartfell in Dumfries, on a quest for the living myth of Myrddin and the primal power of the land. We are called to re-evaluate the stories we tell ourselves and to discover codes, hidden till the time is right for revelation.

Mochyn Myrddin /
Merlins Pig
I am pleased to announce that I have been awarded funding from Arts Council Wales to research and develop a full length storytelling performance for presentation later this year.
Myrddin,Mochyn is a storytelling performance based on the life of Myrddin and his encounters with magical animals, the symbolism of such; in particular the pig/wild boar/sow, and featuring the myths and folktales that elucidate the deeper meanings. The research and development phase of this project will explore the living myth and how it relates to the present day and in particular the relevance to our current ecological situation.
For more details of this project and how you can get involved you can read all about it in the blog section of this website.

Thereby Hangs a Tale

Finding the Folktale Roots of Bardic Inspiration with Milly Jackdaw & Halo Quin.
Over the eons Shakespeare’s tales have retained their relevance, capitalising on our fascination with watching our own stories amplified that we may better understand ourselves. Could it be that Shakespeare found inspiration from some of the earliest explorations of key themes in already existing stories? Could myths and folktales have played their part? Storytellers Milly Jackdaw and Halo Quin have been uncovering tales, including some from Welsh myth, that hold tantalising hints that this may indeed be the case.
In the tradition of the great bards of old, we call Shakespeare into conversation with the folktales that shine through his work, baring the bones of stories that take us to the heart of inspiration. We unpick colourful threads from plays and tales, reweaving them in the place where traditional storytelling meets theatre.
If folktales be the food of the Bard, tell on.

The Lost Arc, Rhayader
7th January 2023
Two woodcutters are lost on a cold winter’s night, reason to be fearful indeed. But it doesn’t do to be always looking down, even in a crisis and when the woodcutters turn their gaze skywards, they see something miraculous; a star shooting to Earth. A gift? Gold? Or is it something far more precious than that?
Discover for yourself and join the adventure of The Star Child as he navigates through pride and selfishness and embarks on a journey back to the heart.
