Juniper Common's very first House Concert!
The Village Square, set in an imagined town some years ago (as all good fairy tales are), is a narrative of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque.
Featuring renowned cellist Zoe Knighton, award winning guitarist/composer Robbie Melville, and the charismatic and much-loved Richard Piper as The Narrator, the fables sparkle with the magic of traditional mythology.
In The Fruit Mechanic, the engine of an obnoxious tourist’s thunderous motorcycle is transformed into silence by an artful greengrocer. In The Fog, a thick cloud descends upon The Village, sending the entire population into a deep sleep until The Dogs discover a way to rouse them. Kind And Sorrowful tells the story of a young man who is saved from drowning by the River Spirit with unforeseen repercussions.
Evocative, enchanting and above all, human, The Village Square is a captivating combination of music and spoken word.
