Surrey Storytellers is a group that promotes the art of storytelling for Adults, Young People and Children throughout the County of Surrey, in England.
Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment in the world and is also the way societies hand down their histories and values from one generation to the next. It is currently enjoying a revival thanks to a renewed interest in the folk arts which also include music, song and dance. There are lots of storytelling circles and events run across the UK, at which everyone is welcome – either to listen or tell a story of their own.

Polis Loizou tells "Island of Love"
This is his most intimate and personal creation yet – a blend of mythology, folklore, history and biographical storytelling that explores his identity, his family and their complex motherland.
Beginning with the birth of the country’s infamous goddess, Aphrodite, the show takes the audience on a journey of love, desire, sexuality… and war. From tales of intercommunal romance and bridal kidnappings to fatness and French nutriotionists, Byzantine heroes and conversion therapy to nationalism and division, the various facets of Cyprus and its people are revealed.
