Nell Phoenix with 'The Girl Who Married A Dog'

In the cold and snow-blinding places, over the vast swath of northern earth, the weirdest, wildest stories are told… fierce, rude, funny and seriously strange.

Nell Phoenix revels in the earthy humour and passions of these primal stories; peopled with unconventional families, the desperate and lonely-hearted, the tricksters, and elderly relatives with their misguided attempts to assist.

This is a place where what happens next is probably not what you’d expect. The Story Forge can't wait to have Nell Phoenix perform, in Sheffield. She will be kick starting off their new venue, Alder.

Nell is a full-time, London-based, performance storyteller working in the UK and globally with a repertoire that wildly ranges through folk, fairy, urban tales and mythology.

She tells, and teaches storytelling skills, at the Royal Opera House, the British Museum, for the Crick Crack Club, local schools and far-flung festivals. She is passionate about storytelling as a modern performance art and runs the best story club night in London.

‘Phoenix is an amazing storyteller. Her voice is acrobatic, one moment a gutturally charming wolfish growl, the next sweet as sugar.’

’She picks through the syllables and pauses of her tale like a mountain goat skipping up a cliff face - confident, able and never close to putting a foot wrong.' – londoncitynights
