Lilith: The Other Side of the Story – Storytelling with Katy Cawkwell
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
Before Eve, there was Lilith...An uplifting one-woman storytelling show. An exploration and celebration of female power through the mythological character of Lilith. Shocking, seductive and entertaining.

Lilith, the first wife of Adam, was not prepared to lie down and accept what was given to her. Thrown out of Eden, she slithered back in to take her revenge and wake Eve up to what her body could do. Viewed as a demon, worshipped as a goddess, adored as the Queen of Sheba, Lilith slips out of the Bible, reclaims the narrative and is dancing with us still, forever free.
Katy Cawkwell, a performance storyteller at the top of her game, mixes myth from Arabia, Ethiopia, Mesopotamia and Jewish tradition, with a dash of feminist flavouring and a large dollop of her own wild dreaming.

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
