Bringing Madge Turner to Life: A storytelling exploration

  • Assembly Rooms (The Council House) 80 North Street Chichester, PO19 1LQ UK (map)

About the Talk

As part of her storytelling work with Chichester Festival Theatre's Festival Friday group, award-winning storyteller Danyah Miller created an oral retelling of Madge Turner's life — bringing her courage, determination and achievements to all. In this session, Danyah shares that work as part of its ongoing research and development journey.

The storytelling will be followed by an informal Q&A, offering a chance to explore Madge's life in more depth, discuss the historical research behind the piece, and hear from the group's own knowledge and insights as the story continues to evolve.
