Greek Myths and Legends - Maria Credali

An evening of traditional Greek tales told for adults with Maria Credali.

Step into a world where gods walk among mortals, fate cannot be escaped, and every choice echoes through eternity. This evening of traditional storytelling brings the myths of ancient Greece vividly to life—tales of love and vengeance, hubris and heroism, beauty and betrayal.

Hear of powerful deities and flawed heroes, of mortals who dared to challenge the will of the gods. These are stories filled with passion, danger, and dark humour—where triumph is never simple, and the cost of glory is often high.

Told in the living oral tradition, each story unfolds afresh in the moment—rich, immersive, and unforgettable.

Maria Credali is a professional storyteller, an artist and workshop facilitator who loves to connect with her audiences.  

Maria now lives in the Midlands in England and works to bring the magic of storytelling and art to all. With her warm, intimate style, Maria brings ancient tales to life with charm, wit, and emotional depth. Her performances are described as:

“Joyous, beautiful, inspiring and poetic.” 

 “Fabulously entertaining – a vivacious character who lights up the room.”

Doors open 7pm, please be seated by 7.20pm.

Soft drinks, as well as a range of snacks, will be available to purchase at the venue during the show. 

Parking is available but limited at the centre. Another nearby car park is Bath Road car park.

Performances are aimed at adults (although many tales will be joyful, parts of some tales may be dark or violent in places, as many traditional tales originally were, but we don't make promise of this either). Recommended age for this show is 14 years +
