A new piece of contemporary oral storytelling exploring endangered freshwater worlds through river legend, folklore and myth by Corinne Harragin
With over 4,000 miles of polluted waterways, Britain and Ireland’s rivers are in ruin. This vibrant new tapestry of transporting tales winds through stories that have shaped our relationship with rivers, the lifeblood of our landscape. Leaping salmon, fishtail women, mythical raves and sacred springs… These enchanting and surprising tales present characters who question what is set in stone and find their own flow.
With each meandering stream and rushing river, we dip our toes into vital waters and ask what new connections are found when we look with fresh eyes beneath the surface?
“Delicious, captivating, funny, sexy, and brilliant!”
Audience Feedback
“Bold, refreshing and joyful storytelling.”
Tigi Higgins on Corinne Harragin
“Rivers sustain the natural environment, wildlife and people in equal measure. People have to feel part of something to feel motivated to care for it – Troubled Waters is an impressive production that will inspire people to re-establish their connection with our rivers, helping to protect them. As a trust, our mission is to see 1 in 4 people taking action for nature, and this production is a brilliant example of people taking action for nature.”
