Tell me a Story

‘Everyone has a story to tell and a memory to share. Unlock yours in this family adventure down memory lane, experience the stories of people, places and objects we hold dear.’

Tell Me A Story is a devised show lovingly created by HandMade Theatre. The piece explores childhood stories and memories and was inspired by our creative work in care homes for those with dementia.

The show features our signature mix of dynamic storytelling, live music, original songs, beautiful puppets and colourful characters.

Uniquely this show has a variety of different versions featuring different stories, performers, songs and puppets. There are two large scale versions suitable for national touring to family events, festivals and venues. There are also a number of smaller compact versions suitable for intimate events and spaces including schools and care homes.

The stories dramatised in the show can be developed and adapted to suit events or places,  with the option to include story collecting workshops for a unique experience.
