Converging Paths

Converging Paths was a series of fiver performances for five North Yorkshire festivals made by Slung low during 2012.

Each instalment is interlinked, but each stands alone as a unique piece of performance.

All five shows are drawn from different parts of the novel, The Ground Remembers, by Slung Low’s co-founder and writer, Matthew David Scott, published by Parthian.
