Forging Fantastical present:
Last Orders, A Storytelling show by Mike Payton in a 16th Century pub near Swindon
The Old Stables, behind The White Hart, Cricklade
7.30pm-10pm Friday 30th January 2025 (Ages 14+) Doors open 7pm (please be seated by 7.20pm)

Three strangers gather in the corner of an inn, leaving the darkness of the road. As the windows rattle and the optics glow, their memories grow hazy but they cling to the stories that have nourished them on their journeys. But why are they there? And who is calling for them from the upstairs bar, ever more insistently? Inspired by The Canterbury Tales, the Cohen Brothers and quite a few lost nights in the pub, Mike Payton reflects on the stories that make us and keep us tethered to the world. One more for the road…

Mike Payton has been telling tall tales all his life, and decided to turn this into a career in 2008. He was Lancastrian born, but is now based in Nottingham, drawing his tales from Britain’s rich heritage and also from the four corners of the earth. His delivery is warm and engaging, and he has a penchant for the strange and unexplainable.

​Lilith was not prepared to lie down and accept what was given to her: thrown out of Eden she slithered back in to take her revenge and wake Eve up to what her body could do. She slipped out of the Bible and is dancing with us still, forever free.


Katy Cawkwell mixes myth from Arabia, Ethiopia, Mesopotamia and Jewish tradition, with a dash of feminist flavouring and a large dollop of her own wild dreaming.
