Tainted Tales

By  Alec Stevens 2016

Tainted Tales

Secrets, scandals and debauched weekends - The Sussex Arms has seen it all over the years. As part of their investigations into this local landmark, artists Jo Kimber and Alec Stevens have uncovered a plethora of fascinating stories that are best told after dark. A dramatic retelling of lost tales and special tours of the exhibition will be in store for visitors willing to embrace the Museum at Night! Commissioned to be performed alongside Tall Tales Tiny Tavern exhibition by Royal Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery. https://www.alecstevens.co.uk/tainted-tales Tainted Tales is a story telling event were I played the ghost of 'Elijah Barlow' and Jo Kimber the 'Medium'. Using a mixture of fact and fiction we performed a story telling event that fused narrative and portable projection to bring stories to life.
