Baba Yaga rides above the forest in her mighty mortar, sweeping her tracks with a birch broom. Her laughter tangles your hair; her shrieks strangle your soul. You’d better start running, but remember, she loves the chase! She devours her boyfriends and keeps their bones for pestles. She runs down good girls to make them find their fire, their desire, their flame – but it’s just a game. Come and play!
“Gresham is a composite storyteller who unwraps each story like the petals of a lotus flower” – British Theatre Review
