'What's in a Word?'
Youth Theatre Performances
Sunday August 8 at 12.30pm, 2pm and 3.30pm
Join a group of young people from across London to explore Dr Johnson, his friends, work and home in an innovative performance at Dr Johnson's House. The show will last approximately 45 minutes and runs three times. Tickets are free, although donations are appreciated. To reserve your ticket, email us or call 020 7353 3745.
These performances are the result of a collaborative eight month project between Dr Johnson's House and the St Bride Foundation, having secured a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. With this support, 50-60 young people will be given the opportunity to investigate the heritage of Dr Johnson, his house, friends and work. Using this research, the young people will develop an original, site-specific performance at Dr Johnson's House.
The participants will also record their research findings and interpretations through a film documentary which will be accompanied by a resource pack for future learning. The project will take place in two parts with performances on the 8th August 2010 and the 12th December 2010.
For more information on the project or to book tickets please email us or call Morwenna Rae on 020 7353 3745 |
