Hacksilver

Performed by the Strange Town 11-14 group at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, Hacksilver is a medieval tale of belief, anxiety, and the lingering sense of a doomed future.

Hacksilver

About Hacksilver

In 1215, in a sleepy Fife village, a quiet, anxious boy hears the voice of angels. Spurred on by his sister, poor Sholto finds himself at the head of a Children’s Crusade hoping to save the world. The adults aren’t doing anything after all and somebody needs to save them from God’s wrath…even if they’ve never set foot out of Fife before. A medieval tale of belief, anxiety, and the lingering sense of a doomed future.

Written by Jen McGregor. Directed by James Beagon. Performed by the Strange Town 11-14 group (Wednesdays).
