Them There Then That: a story about stories by Tabitha Grove

Acomb Explore Library

It isn’t just books that hold our stories. It's the people. It’s the places. It’s the times. It’s the objects around us. We've all created stories from the moment that we could. We haven't always written them though. We've drawn them, we’ve spoken them and we’ve sung them. And the point of all this? To share them. Join Big City Read Artist in residence Tabitha Grove as she explores the beauty of the way everything holds a story. If we listen carefully enough, these tales can even help us create our own stories.The performance is suitable for ages 12+ as it touches on parental loss and sexual healthInspired by Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum, Them There Then That is a brand new solo performance touring York Libraries this October as part of the Big City Read.We want our Big City Read events to be as inclusive as possible.
