Ritual, seduction, silliness and sacrifice - all this and more in 'The Wicker Man Verb' - marking fifty years of the iconic horror film.
Ian McMillan is joined by one of our best fiction writers - Sarah Hall. Sarah shares a new commission for The Verb imagining Summerisle in 2023.
David Bramwell and Eliza Skelton have been influenced by the film as writers and performers - they give The Verb an insight into how their Sing-A-Long-A-Wickerman events work. David has just published 'The Singalong-A-Wicker-Man Scrapbook' https://www.drbramwell.com/
Folk musician Brian Peters explores the old songs that sit behind the soundtrack, and Verb regular - the poet and performer Kate Fox, goes on an emotional journey with Lord Summerisle, imagining how he might operate in the world of social media influencers, and endless 'wellness' marketing.
