Chasing Tales

A Litfest and Dukes Theatre partnership

Chasing Tales is a new series of performance storytelling events that invite the audience on a verbal journey into old and new stories, where words are unleashed creating boundary-pushing live performances.

Storytelling is far, far older than writing, and comes with no scripts to memorise – just storytellers with a head full of tales to choose from. Each audience, each venue, is different, so stories are rarely told in the same way twice.

So what you get is a dynamic, once-in-a-lifetime experience every time. And as the story unfolds in your mind, you can’t help but get completely drawn in. It’s the cinema of the imagination, with the energy and intensity of live performance.

Join us for an exhilarating selection of the UK’s most spellbinding storytellers.
