Tall Stories

Tall Stories brings great stories to life for audiences of all ages. The company was founded in 1997 by Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell, who co-created all the company’s shows as joint Artistic Directors until 2021, when Olivia became freelance Artistic Associate.

Tall Stories is a registered charity which has become internationally recognised for its exciting blend of storytelling theatre, original music and lots of humour. The company’s unique brand of theatre has toured from Cornwall to Aberdeen and from New York to Sydney.

In 2020 we partnered with Islington Council to transform a section of Central Library (in north London) into a storytelling hub for the company, housing an office space and a large studio designed for rehearsals and 80-seat preview performances.
