“Your stories were very nice, very captivating. I was really lost in the world of your stories when I was listening to them. Your gestures and different tones of voice helped a lot in the telling of the stories and it was disappointing that the session was only that short. I don’t think I will ever get tired of listening to your stories! Hope you will come visit us again! I’m inspired by you to try storytelling; it all seems so fun now!”

“Sheila Wee is as comfortable vividly retelling a historical tale of Malaysia, as she is weaving magic from an English fairy tale. Her mixed cultural background, with a foot in both Britain and Singapore, along with a passion for research, gives depth and richness to her work. Sheila uses her background in drama to give just the right touches of characterisation, imagery and gesture to her work as an elegant and talented storyteller – sensitive to audience and story alike.”
