Out of a storm, an aging minstrel arrives at the cathedral to entertain the city’s most powerful men. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMother Naked is his name, and the story he’s come to tell is the Legend of the Fell Wraith: the gruesome “walking ghost” some say slaughtered the nearby village of Segerston forty years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut is this monster only a myth, born from the dim minds of toiling peasants? Or does the Wraith – and do the murders – have roots in real events suffered by those fated to a lifetime of labour? As Mother Naked weaves the strands of the mystery – of class, religion, art, and ale – it starts to seem as though the chilling truth might be closer to his privileged audience than they could ever imagine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking its inspiration from a single payment entered into Durham’s Cathedral rolls, “Modyr Nakett” was the lowest-paid performer in over 200 years of records. Set against the traumatic shadow of the Black Death and the Peasant’s Revolt, \u003cem\u003eMother Naked \u003c\/em\u003espeaks back from the margins in a fury of imaginative recuperation.
