Leider muss die Veranstaltung abgesagt werden. “I’ll tell you a tale!” – So begins another enchanting evening with storyteller Richard Martin, a beloved presence on the vhs Erlangen stage. Once again, he brings a brand-new programme of ancient stories – some hundreds, others even thousands of years old. Tales to laugh at, tales to wonder at – and some to make your blood run cold! Of course, all the tales are true – otherwise Richard would never tell them! Guests who hear Richard for the first time are always amazed at how easy his English is to understand. Richard tells not only throughout Europe, but the wider world - yet in his own words, the Erlangen audience is simply the best! And that, he insists, is absolutely true!
