• THE LOST LEGENDS OF BRITAIN - New for 2012 Olympic year
  Welcome your 2012 visitors with rich and astonishing live entertainment!
  What the Puritans didn't suppress, along with maypoles and Christmas carols, the Victorians bowdlerised. These are the stories that slipped out of sight - except among keepers of tales...
  - From husband taming in the Scottish Highlands to wild Welsh spells and deep magic at the heart of England, the ancient tales of our Isles pulse with blood and laughter. Not quite safe, not entirely nice, not always happy ever after. These are stories with guts and energy, that inspired the likes of J R R Tolkien and C S Lewis.

Chloë brings the past alive, making fiction vivid with historical fact. Her high energy style delights all ages of visitor.

This is a performer who has worn chain mail and wielded a sword; ridden hard through heath and high water; slept under the stars.
    She's walked bush and jungle, hidden from sunscorch and sand.
    She knows how fast a princess *can't* run in a heavy brocade gown - and the relief of back support from tight lacing!
    She knows castles inside out. She's been nearly trampled in the tiltyard, and she's taunted besiegers from the battlements!
      At living history events and in her former hobby of live roleplay gaming, Chloë has played the spy, been 'assassinated' and stood up to a furious 'deity'. When ambushed by orcs, she seized her fallen leader's magical sword and fought them off.
    Their ears are still ringing.

Art Galleries & International Exhibitions

• A confident improviser, Chloë offers Instant Tales in response to images/artefacts on display
• Able to include a wider range of overseas audience by delivering key story moments in French and German as well as clearly spoken English
• Wit, warmth and wisdom in traditional tales from cultures around the world: Lakes heave with giant snakes and dragon kings. Vengeful deities unleash flood, fire and quake. Snowfields throng with ice giants and grumpy old women. Eccentric philosphers, doomed sun gods and lovelorn thieves roam the desert. Survival can depend on a horse, a wolf or a single grain of rice.
