Thank you Stage Talk Magazine and Mike Whitton for the raving review - we couldn't agree more.

"On a bare stage and with a simple chair as her only prop, she invites the audience to visualise the events she recounts, as if watching an epic film of the Christopher Nolan kind. But she engages all the senses, not just the visual, so we feel the texture of a tattered old sail, and smell the detritus in the narrow streets of a harbour. She has the knack of taking a detail and expanding it in convincing fashion."

A splendid piece of masterful story-telling. ★★★★☆

Need we say more when the reviews have already said it for us!

"When all you have on stage is nothing but one storyteller with a chair, they are going to need to be exceptional to sustain the attention of an audience over 90 minutes. Debs Newbold is exceptional." -Backstage Bristol

"DAUNTLESS: Grace O'Malley, Pirate Queen is a splendid piece of masterful story-telling. Last night's capacity audience at The Wardrobe clearly loved it, and Debs Newbold was given a noisy, heartfelt ovation." -Stagetalk Magazine

Dauntless - Grace O'Malley, Pirate Queen takes over the stage at Hoxton Hall this Wednesday 7th October.

Born a princess. Raised a prince. Reborn a warrior. Come and hear the story of one of the most radical figures of the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, Shikandi - The Girl Who Didn't Die.

Making a pact with the God of Destruction is always going to have consequences. But in a world of cosmic matchmakers, divine curses and secrets set to explode, every arrow must eventually reach its target...

Emily Hennessey will bring you her captivating storytelling, accompanied by Sheema Mukherjee and the mesmerising sound of her sitar.

Tickets are running low, so pick your location and book on to join Shikandi on her dance with destiny.

What a show! Thank you Lucy Lill for an exhilarating journey through Doom Scrolls - The Never-ending Prophecies of the Sibyls. We’ve officially lived out our Ancient Greek dreams — with a wonderfully unexpected twist.

Not to worry, Crick Crack Club will be returning to all of these four venues sooner than you think with our next storytelling show 'The Girl Who Didn't Die', performed by Emily Hennessy with music by Sheema Mukherjee.
