Book dramatist Jenny Riddle blends today’s most talked-about books with unforgettable historical figures to create an engaging, inspiring, and often humorous journey.
From the stoic wisdom of a Roman emperor to the quiet defiance of medieval nuns, from ordinary citizens who stood up to tyranny to an octopus with the soul of a philosopher and a chef who built an empire from chocolate chip cookies—these stories span centuries and genres but speak powerfully to what it means to live with courage, curiosity, and heart.
Through storytelling and reflection, she explores how people—real and imagined—choose courage over comfort, creativity over fear, and joy over resignation.
You will leave inspired, entertained, and reminded that stories—serious and playful alike—help us make sense of our world and live more bravely in it.
