Freefall Writing Workshops (www.freefallwriting.com) and The Pearl Company present British storyteller Geoff Mead with Canadian musician Jaron Freeman-Fox (violinist and Indian music aficionado) one week prior to their featured performance at the Toronto Storytelling Festival.

The Storyteller’s Tale is a stirring tale of banditry, betrayal, unlikely friendship, storytelling and dangerous love set in 18th century India. A storyteller and the beautiful young wife of a cruel and powerful warlord exchange stories as they meet, fall in love and part. Based on the novella The Storyteller’s Tale by Omair Ahmad. This 2-hour performance marks the story’s Canadian Premiere. All proceeds donated to Indian charities, by arrangement with the author. Celebrated in the UK as a master storyteller, Geoff Mead performs traditional stories, runs story-based workshops and teaches storytelling in the UK, Spain, Canada and Japan. Reserve your seat.
