Folk Tales of the Ever After is a collection of traditional tales from a range of cultures which is,by turns,funny,challenging and touching.From a man in Baghdad who tries to outrun Death,to Sir Lancelot's ride on the hangman's cart and an Ancient Sumerian ball game that leads to a trip to the underworld,storytellers Fiona and June invite you to share stories from their repertoire,and insights into their working practice,as a journey through the mysteries of death,dying,bereavement,loss,grief and the ever after.
