Melting in Madras
Seeking, Singing and Sickness in India, 1995

The press on Britton’s previous work:

“A moving and humorous account of an India less traveled.” - The Hindu

“A most incredible storyteller [who can] make you forget your surroundings
and escape into the story he’s telling.” - Hi! Drama

“An engaging storyteller ... one honest, likable guy
telling his story with unaffected simplicity.” - Back Stage

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In 1995, a wide-eyed 23-year-old H.R. Britton traveled to South India to explore meditation, yoga, and music for a year. After three months, his quest for spiritual clarity took a detour when he became seriously ill. Melting in Madras is the story of this journey. Both funny and reflective, Britton uses storytelling, character work, and live music to tell the tale of his pilgrimage with all its confusion, inspiration, and beauty.

New to Boston, H.R. Britton has been telling stories on the East Coast since 1999. He hosted the wildly successful Lower East Side Stories series at the Tenement Museum in Manhattan, and was a regular on the New York storytelling circuit. On arriving in Massachusetts this year, he hosted “Tell Inn,” a three-month storytelling series in Gloucester. As an active member of the local storytelling organization massmouth.com, he will be hosting StorySlams in Jamaica Plain starting this fall.
