The Tales Our Mother Told!

by Pat Whymark


“What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”

At their mother’s memorial service, estranged brothers Brian and Dennis Cox remember the tales she told them as children – and as adults.
Some were fables of homespun wisdom, some were her own versions of the grimmest fairy tales. Did they help the brothers in their life path, or did they make the forest darker and the way less clear? Were her stories just for fun, or a kind of smokescreen, an enchanted mist that enticed them to strange parts, then left them without Google maps?

Untangling the web of her imagination could either bring the brothers closer, or shatter their uneasy peace for ever.
Common Ground are committed to keeping small-scale theatre alive and well in East Anglia, presenting shows that are, first and foremost, entertaining. Featuring live music, performed by our company of skilled actor-musicians, our productions are theatrically inventive, character-based and always emotionally engaging.

Common Ground Theatre Company have been touring the Eastern region for many years now with their unique brand of music theatre.

“One of the best things on the road in East Anglia right now, the ever-inventive Common Ground…pathos, humanity and dry humour. A proper treat.” – Libby Purves
