2023 HEADLINERS
Our three headliners formed the The Company of Storytellers back in 1985...
They took storytelling to adult audiences over twelve years... touring Britain, running workshops, performing at arts centres and theatres, organising festivals, and working in education. Their work was instrumental in stimulating a nation-wide revival of interest in storytelling.
Four decades of experience and performance later, they are acknowledged as being among the finest storytellers the world can offer...
