Tales for the Telling, Storytelling for Adults, is thrilled to welcome Kathie Kompass and Mary Wiggin from Ottawa to our stage with their storytelling show which played to rave reviews in Ottawa: The Games's Afoot: Stories from Sherlock Holmes.
Step out of the shadows and plunge into the fog-damped streets of Holmesian London where violence and danger abound. In The Dying Detective, Holmes’ very existence is threatened but Watson is determined to help his dear friend in any way he can.
And don’t imagine that a sortie to the bucolic countryside will provide a safe haven especially for the former captain of an Arctic whaler whose past has come back to haunt him. Arthur Conan Doyle drew on his own dangerous experiences on the ice floes of the Arctic seas to craft The Adventure of Black Peter.
Some of the reviews from the show in Ottawa were very exciting!
"Time to take another bow, Kathie!! You deserve to take many more! I’m in awe of your skill set and commitment."
"What a great show. I found myself listening like a little kid."
"Mary thanks for a very entertaining evening as you drew me into the unfolding mystery of Sherlock Holmes. It was riveting and delightful."
"You engaged me in the story from the moment you began to tell, then held me in the world of Holmes for the full telling."
"Great storytelling! You had me on the edge of my seat……"
"Polished, accomplished, filled with energy and wit. Hope Conan Doyle is grinning delightedly from wherever he is currently situated!!"
This is a storytelling performance not to be missed. Mark your calendars, buy your tickets. This is worth spending the evening listening!
