Mud Stories at the Rum Factory

We’ll be at The Old Rum Factory Festival, at Bow Arts’s Wapping studios, this Saturday, 17th August, with Mud Stories – a performance of stories and music from banks of the Thames.

Come down to the River Thames at low tide and join the mudlarks’ hunt for some very valuable objects that will tell us something unique about London’s history. But there is so much here, how do we know where to look? All we can see are mud, shells, stones, and rubbish! Maybe we can ask someone for help? Who’s this?

Here to guide us are East lead artists Shamim Azad and Sef Townsend, Daedalus assistant producer/director Tasnim Siddiqa Amin and Daedalus director/musician Paul Burgess.

Suitable for all ages but recommended ages 8+, it can be seen at 2pm and 4pm. And it’s free!

The Old Rum Factory Festival is centred on open studios, so you can see the work of the many incredible artists who are based there. But there’s lots else to see as well, including a whole programme of workshops. You can get all the details here.

We’ll leave you with a snap from rehearsals. Hope to see you there!
