Story-teller, dramatist, poet, F.Mary Callan writes stories for the Literacy strategy, fables for the York Bestiary of Holy Trinity church Micklegate, and ballads, songs and sonnets for her own amusement. A veteran performer at folk clubs, festivals and old folks' afternoons, since 2013 she has performed her one-woman shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. "Edinburgh has given me great confidence," says Mary, "stretched me and improved my writing and performance, as well as triggering three completely new shows."
