'Stories from an invisible town' title sits next to a man writing on a wall

Step into a kaleidoscopic universe full of wonder, nostalgia and magic as we enter the imaginary town Shôn lived in as a boy.

Written by 'the great Welsh storyteller' (The Stage), Shôn Dale-Jones, Stories from an Invisible Town is charming, unsettling and full of surprises. Shôn’s storytelling will take you on a curious journey, turning everything into fiction - into a world where all reality disappears… funny and thoughtful, it is a fantastic story about letting go and moving on. 

Part theatre, part storytelling, part stand-up, the show embraces our vulnerability, celebrates difference and helps us rediscover the wonder of childhood’s unpredictable mind.

Recent shows by multi-award winning writer Shôn Dale-Jones include Cracking and The Duke.
