Update on Swing Riots Community Drama Production

Our first meeting was attended by ten people  and the evening commenced with an interesting presentation by Liz Weston outlining the history of the Hampshire Swing Riots against the political backdrop of the times.

This was followed by a lively discussion about the main protagonists and how their voices might be heard by telling their story through drama.

At the end of a convivial  evening sipping wine, everyone seemed to have a good understating of the perplexities of The Swing Riots. 

 

 


In preparation for the next Meeting on Thursday 11th April @ 7pm Liz asked us to find out as much as we could  to further our  understanding of how people lived around the time of 1830.

The community drama production will be performed in Droxford in autumn as well as Winchester’s Heritage Event in Setember.

If you would like to become involved, you are welcome to join us on 11th April  7pm in Wilfrid’s seating area.
