The Norwich Arts Centre is hosting a performance of the Homing Stone. the story of Arthur Ransome’s perilous escape from Revolutionary Russia, on the evening of 29th March.
Created by Arthur Ransome’s great-nephew, Hugh Lupton, in collaboration with the English Acoustic Collective, the Homing Stone retells the extraordinary incognito journey that was undertaken in 1919 by Arthur Ransome and Evgenia Shelepina (Leon Trotsky’s personal secretary) in a hired horse and cart across Estonia while avoiding White Russian counter-revolutionaries, through words and music reflecting both Cumbrian and Russian folk traditions.
The Homing Stone will be at the Norwich Arts Centre on Monday 29th March at 8PM.
