Real Red Shoes for me
This is Tuesday coming, and I am very much looking forward to it. Xanthe Gresham is an award-winning storyteller and one-woman performance artist. She was storyteller-in-residence at the British Museum, and Phil Smith of the Arts Council says she 'speaks like a woman spitting jewels'. How cool is that. We discovered her when friends of the shop saw her perform in the North of England at a festival this past Spring. I've since met her a few times, arranging these nights, and she's really cool and really nice. This is the first of three evenings - the next two are on upcoming Tuesdays: 'Isis is You, Sis' and 'Hecate Tango'.
"Aphrodite and the Real Red Shoes: A One-Woman Show Xanthe Gresham
£8, or £21 for all three shows
29 January 2008 (Tuesday)
Treadwell's, 34 Tavistock Street, London WC"
7.15 for 7.30pm start
“Aphrodite is coming towards you, crushing aromatic flowers with her naked body or striding down the street in her thigh-high boots. Is your red heart strong enough, your black heart deep enough to share her starry secrets?”
Ransacking literature and mythology from the Stone Age to Hans Christian Anderson, from Ancient Greece to Soho, Aphrodite is summoned: six foot, perfumed with ambrosial oil, a perfect snake tattooed between her shoulder blades. Her gift: The Real Red Shoes.
