Book tickets for Corinne Harragin 'Troubled Waters', as part of Malmesbury Rivers Festival.
Friday 19th June - 7.30pm (doors 7pm), Rausing Building, Malmesbury
Described by audiences as ‘delicious’, ‘captivating', ‘sexy’ and ‘brilliant’, this adult spoken-word storytelling show explores our connection to waterways, wetlands and their inhabitants. Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves and sacred springs – these freshly told legends celebrate all those who question the fixed and find their own flow. Reviewed as 'genuinely very funny... A masterful storyteller' (Backstage Bristol), Troubled Waters transports audiences into a world where ancient folklore intertwines with contemporary themes. Whether you come for the laughs or the watery wisdom, we’ll dip our toes into vital waters and explore what moves beneath the surface.
Created & performed by Corinne Harragin
Performance time one hour, no interval
The show has been made for adults, but is suitable for children aged 10+ if accompanied by an adult.
Touring UK as a storyteller for the last 10 years, Corinne uses physicality and humour to reanimate the written-down-ness of story with her own brand of oral performance. Finding pockets of enchanted forest within the hinterland of contemporary urban sprawl, she tells stories that recentre marginalised voices and silenced histories, bringing fresh questions to ancient myths and folk tales for adult audiences.
