Tattletales

For the ten unique performances of Tattletales, Ponydog Productions have chosen an excellent venue in The Bard’s Apothecary in Crossley Street of the top end of Bourke Street. This great friendly little ‘watering hole’ serves cocktails and has an interesting wine list and a comfortable small performance space down stairs.

A show based on Tarot! Mysterious? Edgy? Risky? Do not let any trepidation about the possibility of being put on the spot hold you back from this is truly engaging, masterfully managed and fun evening.

As the storyteller/convener/tarot reader Davey Seagle is gentle with his audience. He carried off his first Melbourne show with agreeable aplomb, good humour and authority.  Seagle introduced himself with the telling of an ancient Viking Myth involving Odin. With violent and power-hungry Gods evoked - what followed, more than once, had the flavour of ‘Crown of Thorns.’ Seagle has an enchanting and potentially disarming presence, the demeanour of a storyteller and a mellow flexible voice. Almost immediately it appeared that all audience members were swept up in the fluid, ever moving, story set up with the help of participants channelled input through their choice of tarot cards.
