The Brick Theater, Inc. and Piper McKenzie present The Granduncle Quadrilogy: Tales from the Land of Ice. A matinee was added on Saturday, December 13 at 3pm. This is the second of three exclusive podcasts available for download at pipermckenzie.com.

A frozen northern country. Mammoths and walruses. The legendary death of a saintly child. A twisted winter celebration. The Granduncle Quadrilogy is a holiday special for a made-up holiday. Listen to Granduncle, ancient storyteller and veteran of an endless war, as he and his fellow citizens mix folktales, fictional ethnology, and war stories to conjure a mordant yet moving portrait of an imaginary icebound world that curiously mirrors our own.
