The Story Republic
Introducing Cornwall’s best loved team of tale-telling troubadours, they cut quite a dash dressed in their Sunday best, brandishing suitcases and performing poems. This summer they are ready to wow audiences with songs, stories and delightful pop-up poetry. Skilled in commanding audiences in all kinds of spaces, they have performed on ferries, in fields and at festivals as well as beaches, harbours and stately homes and castles.
The Story Republic Perform Jenny Mopas by Claire Ingleheart at The Writers’ Block
Their repertoire includes new Cornish stories and poems inspired by Looe, Polperro, Liskeard and Redruth, as well as the Clay villages and St Just. These are intermingled with poems by Charles Causley of grumbling kings, fighting pasties and the sisterly competition for a Cornishman! The Story Republic will rouse you with shanties, delight with stories and charm you with wit and fun.
Directed by Connie Crosby, The Story Republic make an excellent addition to any festival or event, or check out some of our digital stories below.
