WOMEN IN HISTORY

An exciting storytelling walk capturing the origins of Bournemouth as a spa town.

To set the scene for this storytelling experience I dress as the ‘Crinoline Lady’. This intriguing and curious walk seamlessly weaves together fact and fiction – with just a sprinkling of fantasy too!

Check out my events page to see when the next storytelling walk is happening.

 

Feedback from the audience of Lady Jane Shelley

Commissioned by Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival delivered in the The Shelley Theatre, Bournemouth

“An extraordinary and most unexpected tale of Mary and Percy Shelley. Very interesting”

“Evocative and pleasantly reassuring – it works”

“Amazing experience. Like being taken back in time and being there for real.”

"A truly incredible feeling! As soon as it started, I was led away and I entered a different world!"

“Thank you for the great 10 minutes that seemed so much longer!"

"What an unusual experience! Very atmospheric and very well done!"

"Loved it, great atmosphere, it really felt as if I was there with ‘Mary’, Thank you."

  •  “I just had to write and tell the organizers how wonderful this was moving, funny and heart-wrenching… the audience was totally engrossed and I know from their comments afterwards, that they all felt this was an exceptional experience! Thank you to Michele and the organisers for their foresight in including this in the programme."

  • "Congratulations again for your new show. We really enjoyed it and found it provocative and challenging in a good way. The script was well crafted and your acting was top notch as ever - the swift mood swings carried a lot of dramatic punch and were very touching at times. The first image of you above us waving was great, and the ending was effective too - left you a bit shocked that we shouldn't be letting you go off by yourself - but some audience members also said they were worried you had left us somewhere unknown - also interesting!”
