Theatre During The Wars at Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall

Date: Tue 23rd Oct
Time: 13:00

A fascinating talk about the role of theatre during wartime by Helen Brooks, Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of Kent and leader of ‘Recovering the First World War Theatre’ Gateways project, plus displays and presentations by our own heritage researchers about the Theatre Royal Nottingham during wartime. For more information about Helen’s work please visit http://www.gatewaysfww.org.uk/projects/recovering-first-world-war-theatre-0

This talk is part of an ongoing series of public events that forms part of Our Theatre Royal Nottingham: Its Stories, People & Heritage, a two year project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, that will explore many aspects of our past.

The project, run in partnership with the University of Nottingham, now enables us to do further research into past shows, work with other theatre archives, conduct oral history interviews with performers, staff and audiences; begin work on itemising and cataloguing our own archive and host free talks and heritage days. All of this will culminate in a brand new digital archive for the venue, created by Horizon Digital Economy Research based at the University.

This FREE event will take place on the Theatre Royal Dress Circle foyer at 1pm. Doors and bar will be open from 12.15pm. Admission is free, but tickets are required due to limited capacity.

If you have queries regarding this talk or about our heritage work in general then please email David Longford, or call 0115 9895531
