The Bureau Of Untold Stories Launches National UK Tour

The intrepid inspectors of 'The Bureau Of Untold Stories' will head to a number of cities across the United Kingdom to launch an investigation into the world's missing stories as part of their 2019 national tour.

The family friendly production follows the escapades of two detectives as they attempt to track down a notorious criminal mastermind, known simply as The Eraser. Using outrageous accents, live sound effects, some unconventional storytelling skills, and the ridiculous suggestions and ideas of the Bureau's newest recruits; the audience, 'The Bureau Of Untold Stories' sees performers Sean and Hollie Bryan create a series of entirely original tales throughout the sixty minute duration of the piece.

"The show blends a narrative driven plot with entirely improvised stories that are created from the amazing ideas our young audience members have," says creator and performer Sean Bryan. "Their imaginations are incredibly creative, and we want to help children harness that creativity, and inspire them to share their own stories in their own unique style."

Described by the Winchester Discovery Centre as the 'masters of innovative, interactive and improvised children's theatre' producers Brymore Productions are expanding upon their small 2018 tour of 'The Bureau Of Untold Stories' with more dates and cities across the UK in 2019, and from September will also launch their first international tour of the piece in Europe and Australia. A selection of stories from each performance are also recorded and preserved via an accompanying podcast, which enables audience members from around the world, who may not be able to attend a live performance, to tune in and be inspired by the production.

Whilst entertaining for all ages 'The Bureau Of Untold Stories' also aims to encourage a greater love and enjoyment of reading and writing, especially from children, which has proven to be a timely goal for the production. Recent research by the National Literacy Trust into literacy and life expectancy has shown the impact a lack of strong literacy skills has on the health and wellbeing of children and adults, especially in areas with serious literacy challenges, and that an enjoyment of reading sees benefits not only in the classroom but in general mental wellbeing.

"It's so important to us that children from all backgrounds have access to quality art that can challenge and inspire them, and to have this kind of work supported by theatres across the country has been wonderful." says co-creator Hollie Bryan who is looking forward to being on the road with the show.

'The Bureau Of Untold Stories' visits Barking, Rugby, Morecambe, Sheffield and Stoke-On-Trent across July before taking part in the Exeter Fringe Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August. For more information, dates and tickets visit www.brymoreproductions.com
