Tell Tale Hearts Theatre - Suitcase Stories
A lady, a suitcase and a lifetime of stories from around the globe...
This Summer, Tell Tale Hearts were commissioned by Sheffield Theatres to create an interactive storytelling show for a Foundation and Key Stage One audience based around one performer and a suitcase. The result...
Suitcase Stories
"You know, this reminds me of a very fiery story; it begins in a deep, dark cave where all that can be heard is the sound of breathing......"
One suitcase can tell a thousand stories - especially when the suitcase belongs to this particular lady. Journey around the world with our well travelled friend as she regales you with tales of fishermen, fairies, feasts and beasts, from Yorkshire, through Poland and on to Peru!
Using only the contents of her suitcase she creates landscapes of mountains and jungles, costumes for shepherds and kings and finds unique ways to bring characters and their worlds to life. 
The children are drawn into the land of the stories by creating waves of water, becoming a royal army, discovering clever ways to hide their dancing fairies and organising a troublesome troop of monkeys.
An interactive storytelling show to inspire and enhance children's knowledge and love of stories.
Directed by associate Director Louise Clark, designed by Jo McFarlane and performed by long standing Tell Tale Hearts company member Simone Lewis. 
Although the lid is tightly fastened on the suitcase at the moment we know the stories are itching to be set free and told once more and we are hoping to send our travelling teller out on another journey very soon. For details on future performances and how to book the show please contact us at;
