A Spell in Time: http://www.spellintime.fsnet.co.uk/
A Spell In Time is a unique pioneering British-Bulgarian performing arts company founded in 1995 by Moni Sheehan and Ivor Davies. We specialise in presenting tales from Bulgarian myth and folklore to British audiences in English translation for the first time. The company’s trademark is a primal blend of storytelling, ritual and music combined with Bulgarian singing. We aim to create an experience of traditional Bulgarian culture that is exciting, enjoyable and entertaining, while offering an alternative insight into shared human experience
