A young person sets out onto the road. They have nothing, not even their hands. They can only hold onto conviction, prayers for help, and faith that regrowth is possible, somewhere in the wide and waiting world...

The House in the Wild Woods is dark and starry journey, weaving together the wondertale of The Handless Maiden with stories from around the world that speak of agency and hope - stories that remind us of what is possible, if we set our minds to the world we want to live in....

Amy Cox, cellist and singer, brings mesmerizing music to draw listeners deeper into the stories’ twists of fate, devils, magic, and call of the wild. 

The show invites listeners to journey deep into the imagination, into a dream of love, loss and feats of wonder, with one eye open to catch how the heartbeats of the best stories also play out in our own lives, and sing to us of the things we know, deep in our own hearts.

The stories and songs, spun through with music, invite listeners to dream into how - out of the soil of troubled times - we can grow wild and wonderful.
