FOREST Forge brings a story of desire, duty, deceit and revenge to Bridport Arts Centre on Friday at 7.30pm.

Woman of Flowers is an innovative retelling of an ancient Welsh myth where nothing is quite as it seems.

This piece of storytelling will also feature live music, dance and video. The performances use subtitles throughout, with sections of theatricalised sign.

Rose cannot remember what came before the house at the edge of the isolated forest. Gwynne says he magicked her out of the flowers, but she’s not so sure. She has played the part of the perfect farmer’s wife for Lewis, who is kept firmly in place by his uncle Gwynne, and accepted her lonely existence. Then a stranger is seen in the forest. What lengths will she go to, to escape the life chosen for her?

Marketing manager Lisa Wilcock said: “Forest Forge are firm favourites here at the Arts Centre.

“This promises to be a beautiful mix of theatre and music with mesmerising and emotionally charged performances.”

The performance is suitable for ages 12+. See bridport-arts.com for ticket details.
