A Frome storyteller will share three Christmas stories he has written with audiences at a local pub this month.
Mike Rogers will share his stories at The Crown Inn in Keyford on Wednesday 10th December, at 7.30pm.
He said, “One story deals with the events surrounding the Nativity, but in a way which is likely to be unfamiliar. Another is linked to that fine old English Christmas tradition, the Mummers’ Play. The third takes place in a care home.
“I have chosen three stories from those I have written over the past three decades and more, which will leave you happier after you have heard them. All you have to do in response is take that happiness away with you and share it with others.
“What kind of stories do people want to hear at Christmas? What does Christmas mean? Joy – celebration – family – food – presents – it’s the time of year for all these things, beyond religious beliefs and affiliations, because it’s the darkest time of the year. So ghost stories are very popular, but we mustn’t forget the other side of the coin: loneliness, poverty, homelessness and time spent with family members is not always without its tensions.”
