The Pushkin Storytellers

Save The Story

Hay Festival 2014, 

A vivid and animated storytelling with Ossian, a theatre collective who will introduce the stories of Antigone, Gulliver, Captain Nemo and Don Juan, inviting audiences to share these stories, to listen and to become storytellers themselves.

Pushkin Children's Books Save The Story project is a mission in book form: saving great stories from oblivion by retelling them for a new, younger generation. Ossian, a collective of theatre professionals, has taken up the challenge and in a vivid and animated hour-long storytelling will introduce their young audience to these classic stories as retold by great contemporary writers Ali Smith, Jonathan Coe, Dave Eggers and Alessandro Baricco.
