FRIDAY 19th JULY | 11 PM – 1 AM

Eye of the Night | Late Night Stories
Storytelling with Laura Sampson and Sam Enthoven
FRIDAY 19TH JULY 2019
11 PM – 1 AM
Imagine a library late at night: still, silent, dark. Then suddenly, stories.
Symbol of wisdom, bringer of madness, goddess, time keeper, object to explore: moon myth goes from celestial rabbits to shapeshifting maidens, shining palaces all the way to underground cities. Nothing else in culture ever inspired humans as much as the moon.
Tonight, as part of the first ever #WoolwichLate run in partnership with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, artists and storytellers Laura Sampson and Sam Enthoven take you on a voyage around the moon and its tales, set to the unique and uncanny sound of the Theremin – the instrument whose music has literally been to the moon and back.
Arrive hungry for stories and we promise you will leave in love with the moon.
