Thrilled to announce the dates for my first ever storytelling tour! I am excited to perform ‘Yde and Olive’ at so many lovely venues and festivals.
The remarkable thirteenth-century tale of Yde, who dresses herself as a knight and cuts her own paths to freedom – until one day she meets Olive, whose spirit is every bit as courageous as her own. A tale of disguise, adventure, gender fluidity, straight-talking angels, and the power of queer love. You can find out more about the show and find details for all these events on https://daisyblack.uk/events/
I still have one or two dates to add: watch this space for dates in Norwich and with Shaggy Dog storytellers in Hebden Bridge.
