Expertly employing spoken word and live music since 2006, The Devil’s Violin Company has charmed, thrilled and chilled audiences through extensive touring across the UK and Scandinavia with 3 shows: The Devil’s Violin, The Singing Bones and A Love Like Salt.

For One Forbidden Thing, leading international storyteller Daniel Morden joins forces once again with three virtuoso musicians: Sarah Moody (cello), Oliver Wilson-Dickson (violin) and Dylan Fowler (a guitarist of international renown who joins the unit for the first time) to create a dynamic fusion of live music, song and spoken word that pushes the boundaries of this combined art-form.

One Forbidden Thing is storytelling for adults; there are no big eyes and nursery rhymes. These are stories that grown ups will enjoy, because even though the tales take place once upon a time, the trials and challenges the characters encounter are eerily like our own.  One Forbidden Thing tells two interwoven love stories with passion, humour and haunting melody.

The musicians take inspiration by the modality and rhythmic energy of Welsh, English and European folk, fused with the richness of Classical harmony to drive narrative, portray characters, and give shape, structure and emotional colour to a story. The result is a hypnotic cinema for the mind.
