MATLOCK STORYTELLING CAFÉ PRESENTS: THE GODDESS OF SPREADSHEETS AS TOLD BY TIM RALPHS FRIDAY, 5TH DECEMBER

A position has just opened in our More-than-Human Resources Department! As the heroic head of the hiring committee for the divine pantheon, it's up to you to put together a team of sacred scribes, astral accountants and celestial problem-solvers. Tim has got the candidates for you to consider. With the right team of Godly governors in place, this incorporeal corporation is going places!

Bureaucracy, administration and record-keeping are not modern phenomena. They've been a part of human life ever since Mesharra asked Gishkim if he could pay her back after the harvest. Our ancestors dealt with the pettiness of pointless forms, misfiled accounts and typographical errors, raising up deities and demons to preside over organisational systems for both the living and the dead.

From the ancient to the medieval, the holy to the impish, from around the world, prepare to synergise, disrupt and shift some paradigms. You might think a Sun God would be first choice for blue-sky thinking, but if you want to deep dive into the nitty-gritty of mythic bureaucracy, you're going to need to offer a prayer to the Goddess of Spreadsheets.

There'll also be a tune or two from Cage Of Crows and stories from our current resident tellers.

Soup, cakes, teas coffees etc. will be available from our kitchen although you are most welcome to bring a bottle of something with you.

In the Imperial Rooms, Imperial Road, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 3NL. Tickets at £8 can be bought at https://buytickets.at/ matlockstorytelling cafe/1922225

We urge you to book in advance as we cannot guarantee there will be tickets available on the door.

Online ticket sales will close at 7pm on the night. Doors open at 7pm, stories and music 7.30-9.30pm.
