Step right up for a wildly entertaining herbal caper with the Seed Sistas — Fi and Kaz — herbalists, witches, plant nerds and botanical mischief-makers on a mission to rescue one of the world’s most notorious herbs from myth, fear and modern-day censorship.
In The Great Mandrake Robbery, the Seed Sistas unearth the twisted tale of Mandrake, the legendary screaming root once prized for magic, medicine, fertility and ritual, before it was buried beneath folklore, fearmongering and legislation. Through theatre, storytelling, herbal history and plenty of irreverent sass, they journey from ancient tombs and witch trials to Shakespeare, flying ointments and the unfortunate “screaming baby plant” made famous by Hollywood.
But this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a plant-powered rebellion. Discover how Mandrake became feared, forbidden and misunderstood, and why reclaiming our relationship with powerful plants matters more than ever. Expect laughter, myth-busting, botanical weirdness and deliciously dark tales from the herbal underground.
Medicine. Magic. Mischief.
Mandrake is rising again… are you ready to hear it scream?
