What does it take to follow your heart to the end?

Sometimes falling in love is the scariest thing to do - wild, passionate, burning love is not for the faint hearted. From the first stirrings, to the space between the seen and the unseen, trying constantly to overcome the obstacles of the heart. Bliss found – how do we deal with the emotional turmoil which can drive us to the point of insanity and back?

In Roses are Dead, storytellers Peter Chand and Kirsten Milliken will share folk tales from their respective Indian and Scottish cultures exploring the soaring highs and crushing lows of affairs of the heart.
