Castle Arianrhod is a re-imagining of an ancient Welsh myth, a retelling of one of the stories from the Mabinogion. It tells the story of the harm that comes into the world when sister and brother fight. It is a story full of magic and enchantment. Cath Little brings the strange mythic images to life with her words and her song and the music of her lyre.

Where is Castle Arianrhod? It is under the waters of Caernarvon Bay, it is in the spinning circle of the stars above and it is in this gift of a story.
