Hope Returns, A Story Trails Production: Live Show

Written, acted and produced by Beccy Dye (nee Stirrup) of Story Trails, with original music by King Rich. (C) Rebecca Dye 2021, All Rights Reserved.

Hope Returns takes place just after the last episode of Hope Travels, when Hope is stuck between worlds. It was a live, interactive storytelling performance that toured eleven venues, across six days delivering 23 performances to over 200 children in hard to reach areas.

The show explored themes of caring for the environment and of making words count.

Hope Returns was funded as part of WordFest and Festival of the Earth, led by Wakefield Council through Creative Wakefield until October 2021 across the Wakefield district.

If you would like to say hi to Hope, then tweet @StoryTrailsUK or email info@storytrails.co.uk and we’ll pass the message on!  If you’re a small human, remember to ask a grown-up to help.

Beccy Dye (nee Stirrup)

I'm Beccy and I make 'Diary of a Space Archivist', 'Story Trails' and the recently launched, 'Story Trails Tours'.

I'm a storyteller, so I have the unbelievable joy of creating stories and unearthing folktales and, well, telling them in a variety of joyous ways. It's a beautiful job, and I feel really fortunate to have it.

I work a lot with various community groups and people from the ages of 3 to 93, developing stories, alternative games, fun projects and podcasts.

'Diary of a Space Archivist' is aimed at adults (though folk have reached out telling me that they listen with their children). It's a comedy sci-fi set in space.

'Story Trails' is a mix-up of the various projects that I've developed and ranges from live shows right through to showcasing podcast episodes created by young people.

'Story Trails Tours' is aimed at family listening and should be fun for children from the age of 5 right through to older adults. It's set in an enchanted world that's seen better days, and involves an ex-valkyrie trying to give humans tours of the magical world whilst keeping them safe from all the other creatures within it...
