Event information
Beginning with “It was not a box, it was a jar”, Shonaleigh brings this 90 minute series of intertwined and nested stories, including a heart-wrenching tale of a vizier and a gibbon, to life with her vivid use of imagery and music.
Shonaleigh is one of Europe’s leading storytellers. Having learned the Drut’syla tradition from the age of four, she carries thousands of oral stories from the Jewish tradition and shares their magic, mystery and wisdom with audiences around the world.
Shonaleigh performs at storytelling festivals and events in Europe, America and Australasia as well as working with acclaimed organisations including the BBC, Hull Truck Theatre and appearing as a special guest at The International Conference of World Affairs. She is an experienced and highly skilled performer and regularly collaborates with some of the UK’s most respected storytellers including Daniel Morden, Dr Simon Heywood and Peter Chand.
A passionate advocate for the development of storytelling as a cultural and educational tool, Shonaleigh has been involved in several projects around Holocaust memorial as well as running training for the Leo Baeck Rabbincal College. She is an associate lecturer in the University of Derby’s Creative Writing department.
She can move audiences deeply while never being far from a great sense of humour with the immaculate timing to deliver it! And she has a superb voice.
We're delighted to welcome Shonaleigh back to the Feast of Fools, especially as she'll be the first guest performer in our lovely new venue, the Quaker Meeting House.
As always, there'll be refreshments and the famous Feast of Fools raffle, and more important still, the great atmosphere of our friendly audience community.

We look forward very much to welcoming you there to join us.
