Information
In order to increase his crop a greedy farmer pulls down three ancient standing stones in his field, known locally as The Three Hagstanes.  Those stones were there for a reason and the door to another world is now opened. The farmer is then visited by three monarchs who are each wealthier than the other, each requesting to see one of his three beautiful daughters, but there is a price for his actions. A supernatural tale of greed, witchcraft… and a whisper on an ancient legend where no-one is quite what they seem. Join storyteller Robert Howat and Tightlaced Theatre for a free afternoon of pop-up theatre and storytelling fun from 1pm before the production.
