Repertoire of shows

A Very Victorian Murder 

This performance is about Nottingham in 1844.   Following the arrest through to  conviction of William Saville.
It was the alleged murderer of his family in Colwick Woods and the tragedy that occurred at his hanging on the steps of the Shire Hall  (Now the National Justice Museum).   
There has been controversy over this case ever since.   Let these experienced performers of the spoken word lead you through events.  You decide what is fiction and the truth. 

Definitely Not Respectable 

In Nottingham in the Victorian Period the town had eleven Music Halls.   The best preserved is the Malt Cross on St James’s Street.   The most famous acts took place here  including Leo Dryden,  Lilly Harley  (who was Hannah Chaplin the mother of Charlie Chaplin).  George Lashwood was another famous name who trod the boards.   

Listen to the story of the music Hall unfold against a dire backdrop and hardship that was Victorian Nottingham.  A mixture of songs, tales and anecdotes 

Fen Giants Gobbits and Marsh Horrors

The fen marshes of Lincolnshire will ever be shrouded in myth and mystery.   These experienced performers have gathered historical facts and created a series of tales anecdotes of this era.  This goes back in history, when the Romans first drained the marshes for rich agriculture.   

Stories abound of Black Shuck, and the fen giants in the mist, not to mention what lies in the inky black waters of  the Fens.

An Evening with The Woolly Tellers 

You just may want to sit back and relax from tales stories and anecdotes from these experienced performers of the spoken word.   

The Woolly Tellers an extensive library of material resources to draw upon.   We are able create a performance to suit most occasions or perhaps for an event with a particular theme 

Halloween 

Halloween is always a good time for dark and spooky tales.   It goes way back in history.   The Celts believe it’s when the dark half of the year and light half of the year join for a moment in time and the sprits can pass between the worlds.   Others believe it’s when the dead roam the earth and good folk bolt their doors and leave treats for the spirits.  

This is the exception when the Woolly Tellers perform  ‘Jack O Lantern’   a  traditional tale associated with Halloween 

 Christmas Tales 

Our Christmas Tales brings out the true spirit of Christmas.   Thestories and anecdotes are fun of nostalgia and poignant.   We love doing them on the run up to Christmas.   enjoy a chocolate or two with mince pies fruit cake an everything that is bad for you.  But it is Christmas!
