World Storytelling Day 'Deep Waters'

Thursday evening, March 20, listen to true stories about the 1825 disaster at the Fries Scheepvaart Museum. The stories took place in different places in Fryslân:

• The escape from farm Reaskourre in Heidenskip;
• The diary of Lieuwe Jans de Jong from Poppenhuizen,
• The Miracle of Munnekeburen,
• The rescuer of Vierhuis
• And finally about ir. Lely; a hell of a guy!

The stories are told alternately in Frisian and Dutch and talked together in a 'curious' manner.
