A great start to the week… this theatre group from Oregon back again for a 4th year, every year a theatre tour, every year a different route. Such a rich history to draw upon, such a range of buildings to read. Thanks for joining me again!
I’ve said this before but it stands up to repetition…
🎭
Theatre is famously “the bastard art” drawing as it does from all the the other creative and expressive arts. So our topic is immediately wide-ranging - from lit crit to the evolution of acoustics in theatre architecture.
🎭
Throw in architecture itself & the scene is quite literally set for a “History Of Everything” extravaganza!
🎭
Add economics (the hows-and-whys of funding), gender- and sexual-politics, technology (from gaslighting to laser projection), social history & class (the price of tickets and who buys ‘em), politics (censorship, ideas and protest). Season well with gossipy tales and legends and superstitions and it can make for a thematically rich couple of hours.
🎭
It can be all of that… or we can just have a mooch around and see some extraordinarily pretty buildings. So many of them in such a small area. It’s up to you. DM to book a theatre walk

As some of you may know, I gave on consulting the weather forecast years ago. But if the prediction for today was “Not too shabby” then they hit the nail on the head. Have a great Thursday whatever you get up to - give me a wave 👋 if you see me out-and-about

Very rewarding walk on Tuesday with some 10-year-olds looking at refugees in London. Began with the Jewish children of WWII at the Kindertransport statue at Liverpool Street Station. Then in the East End we saw how English children became refugees in their own land through evacuation. I lead this tour every year for the same school but this year there were some particularly heartwarming & inspirational responses from very sparky kids - they really engaged with the harrowing plight of child refugees on arduous journeys separated from their families. A morning I’ll remember for a very long time ❤️

This bonnie boy is a late entrant for my Favourite Guest Of 2024. Meet Rupert. Rupert is from Nunhead, Southeast London (where they have a magnificent cemetery). Rupert joined me for the Ghosts of the Old City tonight. He was particularly helpful when we pursued The Black Dog of Newgate Prison. Thanks Rupert.
