2015-17

Mad Meg is a collision of traditional folk and contemporary dance theatre. Threading moving bodies, storytelling, live folk music and driven by the wild rhythms of Appalachia, MAZPOD tell the demise of Mad Meg, an unruly woman whose spirit is at odds with the traditional society she lives in.

MAZPOD invite you to spend a night of storytelling with them in the local pub. As the tragedy unfolds, pass between narrators and characters in the tale and bounce from poignancy to bawdiness, uncovering Mad Meg´s story.
