If Walls Could Talk

About Me

Leeds, United Kingdom
Tip of the Tongue is a new Leeds based theatre company that works collaboratively to produce engaging theatre that is universal in its essence. By presenting traditional storytelling in a theatrical context, we want to give voice to true stories of our own, individuals close to us, and our audiences. With the addition of live instrumentation and moments of improvisation, we wish to create a unique genre of performance that leaves a lasting impression on our audience.

If Walls Could Talk...

World Premier of 'If Walls Could Talk' was performed in C aquila Studio at the Edinburgh Fringe 4th-29th August 2011:

Out of a suitcase come fascinating tales of shame, sorrow, and side-splitting wit, punctuated with live music. Perhaps, the power of a story lies in the simplicity of its telling? With opportunity for one guest storyteller per show to tell us their own true tale, our audience is invited to indulge with us in the memories and emotions that are provoked by telling a story, and will become as captivated as we are with the true tales of real people.

Guest Storytellers

26 shows in a row can, at times, feel somewhat tasking. If Walls Could Talk featured a different Guest Storyteller every day of the run (almost). We had a whole host of fantastic, remarkable, horrifying, anecdotal, spectacular, embarrassing, and heart-warming stories.

From having the blood of a Viking God; sibling rivalry reconsidered; confronting fears; messy birthday parties; making the first move; pheasant chaos; acting on impulse (and saving a life); "Dad's in charge"; wise words of war; fondest Fringe memories; to the life-changing decision a Mother and Father had to make...our fantastic storytellers gave us a unique show every single day, and we found ourselves as awe-struck and inspired as anyone else listening.

So, a huge thanks to each and every one of our wonderful Guest Storytellers:

Henry, Jamie, Tom, Jobi, Alec, Janet, Craig, Louise, Alexa, Clint, Lauren, Sam, Oli, Patrick, David, Stephen, Anna, Christine, Devauna, Pete, and last but certainly not least, Ekow.

For giving every audience a different show, and allowing us a glimpse of someone we either know, knew, or may never meet again.
