Saturday, 16 February 2013: The Mahabharata<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> is the greatest of the Indian epics, and this film version by Jean-Claude Carri\u00e8re and Peter Brook is an astonishing, compelling rendering, based as it is on their earlier theatre production.<\/p>\n

There will be two breaks: one at about 4.45 for half an hour for tea; and a second at about 7pm for food.<\/p>\n

Tickets will be \u00a315\/12 (concs) including food (vegetarian supper from Khan’s<\/a>), and you are strongly advised to book in advance (not least since it is cheaper). Tickets available from Eventbrite<\/a> and you can buy them in person from Bramble Corner<\/a> in Forest Row.<\/p>\n
