Hello, I’m Lucy. I’m a storyteller and actress, creating and performing storytelling shows for festivals, museums, theatres and screen in addition to writing playful picture books for children. My storytelling shows use the tradition of telling a story aloud to support language development, communication and play. I’m passionate about how oracy and literacy can be supported through media and arts.  

This site is dedicated to my oral storytelling and charity work but I’m also an actress and voice actor recently filming Mammoth, a comedy for BBC Wales, BBC Two and BBCiPlayer.

Represented by Alice Williams Literary for my picture book writing and Sam Dodd at Carey Dodd Associates for acting work.

BBC Children in Need

BBC Children in Need believes that every child should have the chance to thrive and be the best they can be. They fund thousands of charities and projects in every corner in the UK. I’m thrilled to support Children in Need at CarFest this summer. I’ll be performing each evening at Pudsey Spot to help raise money and awareness.

Libraries

Libraries promote reading for pleasure, learning and creativity through empowering people to access information, knowledge and culture. I’m delighted to support the work of libraries as a Storyteller in Residence supporting oracy and literacy development. My storytelling events use original stories performed aloud to boost language development and communication skills. Our community reach has included local primary schools and scout and cub groups.
