Join guest storyteller Peter Chand for another session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club. This month’s theme is Funny Old Death, with tales including Yama the God of Death and the Noose of Fate. Funny, thoughtful, and insightful stories about the Great Leveller.
Peter is one of Europe’s most renowned storytellers and is in constant demand for his powerful, evocative and moving stories from the Indian subcontinent and beyond. He has told stories and led workshops in many places including France, Greece, Singapore, the U.S.A. and Lithuania. Join him for a great evening of stories!
Held upstairs in the Waverley Bar, with the usual open-floor section for anyone to share a story, song or poem around the theme or otherwise. Hosted by Beverley Bryant.
