Programmes and
Workshops for
Adults, Children,
Families and All Ages
Based in a small village near Oxford, Marguerite entertains at public venues and events, at private functions and at meetings of groups and societies. She also leads workshops in Storytelling Skills and Story Creation.
She works in Oxfordshire, its neighbouring counties and further afield. She has recently returned from a very successful storytelling tour in New England. USA.
Her programmes, for adults, children or 'all ages', are lively performances from memory in which she acts the different characters. Every programme is specially designed for its audience, setting and occasion.
Marguerite is a member of Equity, a member of the national Society for Storytelling and President of the Oxford Storytelling Society.
'Marguerite's skills as a performer captivated the audience. Her ability to inspire listeners and encourage them to participate will hopefully ensure that the joy of the oral tradition is kept alive, in Oxfordshire at least.'

''I featured Marguerite at my storytelling venue and she was simply wonderful! She displays a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the folktales she tells, making for a rich performance. She has a beautiful and powerful speaking voice, which she used to good effect. Her love of history and her dramatic skills, were very apparent in this thoroughly entertaining performance.'
