About

Live performance storytelling by Nell Phoenix.

At the northerly point of north, before you reach the place where it's south in every direction, it gets very, very cold. In this snow-blinding place the weirdest, wildest stories are told… fierce, rude, funny and seriously strange.

Nell Phoenix revels in the earthy humour and passions of Arctic stories, peopled with unconventional families, the desperate and lonely-hearted, and elderly relatives whose attempts to assist are misguided, to say the least.

This is a place where what happens next is probably not what you'd expect - and some images will stay with you forever...
