A TASTE FOR BREAD by Penny Blackburn

A Taste for Bread
Select UK or International


A TASTE FOR BREAD deconstructs fairytales and myths (along with some real-life events) and focusses on overlooked characters’ explanations for their actions.

Quite often these ‘baddies’ are older women who have acted against a young princess ripe for a prince’s picking, and their actions are put down to jealousy. Here they are given a chance to explain themselves.​
With my word as a dying witch, 
I tell you
that if that poor girl could have chosen
she never would have chosen this.
Yet you will watch – complicit – as he makes her beholden
by planting that brutal kiss.

(Last Statement from the Accused – the witch who cast the spell on Sleeping Beauty)​
Enter the world of myth and legend from Penny Blackburn’s perspective, and be prepared to be entranced.
