Chennai event - Stories On The Run - Madras Day Special (6 Aug)
Posted on: 03/Aug/2016 10:41:12 AM
Storytrails announces special trails in August to mark the Madras day celebrations. Registration is FREE. Seats are limited and prior registration is necessary for all trails.
Stories On The Run:
Join us for a unique RUNNING trail by the sea. Let your feet carry you along as you feast on stories of the British in India.
But why the British? Because the Marina was their bastion and some of the best British buildings are along this road. And very pretty ones they are too. But more interesting are the stories they conceal – of true blue Brit grit, of perseverance and backstabbing, of practical concerns and pure unadulterated greed.
Stories On The Run, is a jog through a world of exciting people and momentous decisions. So take to your heels, keep your ears skinned, and breathe in the delight that was Madras. Join us and let us run through some stories.
