      • Stories in performance: Weaving Tales, Touching Hearts

      • Lea’s stories don’t just live on the page—they’re made to be heard, felt, and shared. As a storyteller and performer, she creates work that shifts between spoken word, theatre, and live storytelling, sometimes written down, often shaped in the moment.

        Her performances have taken her across the UK and beyond, bringing history, humour, and heart to a wide range of audiences. From The Purple, White and Green, exploring the lives of the Scottish Suffragettes, to the playful chaos of Pedigree Tales Comedy (complete with life-sized woven dogs), Lea’s work is as inventive as it is engaging.

        PEDIGREE TALES

        Lea Taylor's unique blend of humour and creativity shines in this comedic performance piece. Featuring life-sized willow dogs as props, Pedigree Tales Comedy showcases the lighter side of storytelling and the boundless possibilities that come with imaginative collaboration.

      • PEDIGREE TALES IN REVIEW

        Lea Taylor and Nicola Wright are masterful professional storytellers, and their Play Fest show ‘Pedigree Tales’ was a worthy showcase of their talents. Credit must also be given to their two canine assistants, who were beautifully presented and impeccably behaved throughout.

        The show was indeed a treat for dog lovers of all ages, but also funny enough to delight those who are perhaps less enthusiastic about man’s best friends. It included hilarious sketches ranging from badly behaved dogs on the bus to a helpful guide for picking up your dog’s poo - using the correct accessories of course (gold-plated scoop is de rigueur) - and always avoiding being seen by your dog whilst cleaning up its mess lest it should henceforth regard you as inferior.

        The show had its serious side too, as both storytellers told moving tales of incredible canine bravery, loyalty, and ingenuity. These included accounts of some of the winners of the Dicken Medal for gallantry, instituted by Maria Dicken (founder of the PDSA) to honour the work of animals in the second world war. The expert storytelling successfully avoided over-sentimentalisation, and the brisk pace ensured that we remained engaged and enchanted throughout.

        INDEPENDENT REVIEWER - DUNS PLAY FEST

      • "Lea's performance writing transcends genres and styles, showcasing her versatility and love for the craft.

         

        In each piece, you'll find the essence of her tagline, "A Way With Stories," as she weaves tales that are sure to whisk you away to far-off places and unforgettable adventures."
