art of the wandering storyteller. Draw­ ing its stories and characters from all over the world, serious and comic, impossible and absurd. The actor's cul­ tural heritage, wide theatrical experi­ ence and knowledge of global myths and folklore are all drawn upon to cre­ ate stories, worlds and characters that carry the audience on a fascinating journey through the glories, foibles and follies of humanity. Stories include: "The Lady or The


Tiger", "The Tower", "Congotay", "The Shoemaker and the Spinner," among


others. According to an ancient Chinese leg­


end, the conquered people behind the mirror are forced to reflect human actions rather than their own lives. In "Mirror Lore", surrounded by mirrors, the storyteller summons up characters, voices from the silent world within the mirror to challenge, entertain, question, fascinate and conquer the audience. "Mirror Lore" will be performed for


one night only in Whalley Village Hall. EVENTS - MARCH 5TH TO 11TII Clitheroe Library, a display of paint­ ings by Mr Ronnie Burston, of
