The company was founded in 1997 by joint artistic directors Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell, who have co-created all the company’s shows since then.
Tall Stories is a registered charity which has become internationally recognised for its exciting blend of storytelling theatre, original music and lots of laughs. The company’s unique brand of physical storytelling theatre has toured from Cornwall to Aberdeen and from New York to Sydney.
In 2020 they 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 brand new studio designed for rehearsals and 80-seat preview performances.
