Ganga: Indian Tales of the River has been booked by Arts Alive to be performed on March 18 at Clungunford Village Hall and on March 19 at All Stretton Village Hall, and tickets are still available.

Storyteller Emily Hennessey and sitar player Sheema Mukherjee conjure fast-flowing worlds of cosmic creatures, celestial curses, wise women and gods behaving badly in these Indian stories of liberation, love, life, truth and illusion.

Emily has previously performed at the British Museum, Soho Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe, Royal Opera House, Beyond the Border Storytelling Festival and Delhi Storytelling Festival.

Ganga: Indian Tales of the River will be at Clungunford Village Hall (SY7 0PP) on Friday March 18 and at All Stretton Village Hall (SY6 6JR) on Saturday March 19 at 7:30pm. The show is suitable for ages 14+.
