WISDOM & OTHER FOLLIES

Stories of the dangers and delights of knowing it all and not knowing better. A sage seeks wisdom from the land of the dead; stuck souls beg for an answer from the One Who Knows All; a girl is kept from knowing anything by being brought up in a barrel, and a prophet knows his desire will be the death of him… but can’t deny himself. Sarah Liisa Wilkinson brings you myths and folktales of those cursed with knowledge, those blessed by ignorance, and those who should know better - but don’t let that stop them. * Bio * Sarah Liisa Wilkinson is a storyteller who delights audiences with her always engaging, energetic and playful performance style.
