The Real Histories Directory

From British legends and multicultural folk tales, to the ancient myths of the Saxons, Celts, Greeks, Romans and Vikings, Dominic enchants and enthralls audiences from Cornwall to Cumbria. Drawing on a wide repertoire built up over many years, his performances combine tales of comedy, wonder and suspense. For schools, Dominic can deliver performances to link with any historical topics on request, providing a customised day of storytelling designed around the needs of the school. His expertise is based not only on his years of professional storytelling but also on 8 years as a primary school teacher. He works predominately across the North of England, but regularly travels much further, and is happy to consider work at any location in the UK. When not on tour, Dominic collaborates regularly with the Northern Centre for Storytelling in the Lake District, with which he has close working links.
