It's impossible to take your eyes off Rachel Rose Reid: she absolutely commands the stage. Extraordinarily expressive without ever bordering on histrionic, Rachel spins yarn and weaves dreams - myths and fairy tales for adults - not just with her powerful voice but also with her graceful and flowing gestures. Effortlessly moving between poetic and colloquial language, comedy and tragedy, innocent and sinister moods, her stories are so captivating, her invitation to audience participation so engaging and her delivery so charming, that the performance could easily last another hour without audience attention waning. This is storytelling with a unique and modern twist: contemporary storytelling
at its best. ★★★★★
Magical...all of London held its breath!

Rachel Rose Reid is a poet, dream weaver and mistress story-teller all in one.

Rachel's performance was astonishing. She took the stage with an easy and ego-less charm and, with the aid of her powerful, intelligent
vocals, began to weave a spell amongst the audience, with tales of
mermaids, moon-gazing, and following our dreams.

myth and legend through urban eyes, award-winning storyteller Rachel
Rose Reid enjoys boldly taking tales where no storyteller has been before
(well, that's what they say, but she thinks they just have short
memories).
Her unique style has brought her acclaim from Arts Festivals across America and Europe (Burning Man, Alden Biesen, Beyond the Border), to clubs, theatres and gin-joints throughout the UK, (Soho Theatre, Tricycle Theatre, Express Excess, Poetry Cafe, Ronnie Scott's, Southwark Playhouse), as well as respected storytelling venues (Shaggy Dog Tellers, Storytelling Cafe, Storynights at Torriano, SfS Gathering,
Vayu Naidu Company, Crick Crack Club, Festival at the Edge).

This Summer she can be found shaking dust off tales in the Pleasance Attic at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and recording six creation myths for BBC Local Radio networks.
