We never grow too old to enjoy being told stories.

The last few years have emphasised our need for story for entertainment, comfort, reflection and connection.

In collaboration with the Mobile Library Service, Flibbertigibbet is exploring the development of The Story Pharmacy, a bespoke storytelling event for one audience member at a time and performed remotely via phone call.

The story will be carefully chosen in response to a consultation process and conversation between the recipient and a professional storyteller, to be called later on the phone.

A ‘prescription’ print out will be sent out with suggestions for ‘repeat prescriptions’ from the library – leading you to possible new stories.
