Stories without speech – a new chapter of inclusive entertainment
Megan Lloyd and Mark MacQueen have collaborated on a brand new storytelling project, Stories Without Speech.
Megan Lloyd is a Welsh storyteller who is also trained in Indian classical Dance, whilst Mark MacQueen is a deaf storyteller and poet.

Head of corporate affairs at the Millennium Centre, Bet Davies, is proud of the services the venue offers to ensure that the hearing impaired can enjoy the entertainment provided.
BSL signed and captioned performances as well as a loop system are already on offer but, Bet says, “We are currently looking to develop a backstage guided tour for visitors with hearing impairment too.”

A new chapter of inclusive entertainment opens at the Millennium Centre this month as storytellers Megan Lloyd and Mark MacQueen present a new show especially appropriate for deaf children.
Deaf performer MacQueen and Welsh storyteller Lloyd have collaborated on Stories Without Speech, a visually motivated show suitable for everyone whether hearing impaired or not.
The performance is a collaboration between Welsh international storytelling festival Beyond The Border, NCDS and the Me2 Project.
Artistic director of Beyond The Border, David Ambrose, is confident that Stories Without Speech will be “absolutely accessible” for deaf and non-deaf audience members alike. He says, “Everything will be told in two languages – English, and BSL.”
Stories Without Speech will be performed on the Millennium Centre’s Glafna Stage on 16 November.
