'Landmark Firsts of the London Stage'
Maber, Peter (2024) 'Landmark Firsts of the London Stage'. In: Being Human Festival 2024, 9th November 2024, October Gallery Theatre. (Unpublished)
Abstract
This interactive drama event arises from my research into the history of Restoration theatre and brings landmarks of the Restoration stage to life. The event focused on the first women to perform on and write for the London stage, including Nell Gwyn and Aphra Behn. Actors Natasha Dawn and Tom Hunter brought insights from the 'Origins of West End Theatre' project to life and performed a selection of scenes from Restoration plays, giving insights into their performance contexts, including through audience interaction. The actors reflected on their experience of acting in and directing Restoration plays today.
