All children’s stories are banned in the kingdom of Levitas. King Levi says that stories make your brain go fuzzy and your hands turn green. It’s Susie and Shredder’s job to enforce the King’s law, shredding stories from dawn ‘til dusk. But today, Susie will read a story for the very first time.
Perhaps stories aren’t so scary after all.
​
(No actual stories were harmed in the making of this play).

​Susie and the Story Shredder premiered at Project Arts Centre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival and toured to Civic Theatre (Red Line Books Festival) and Pavilion Theatre in Autumn 2018.
