History Lectures by Don Chiswell The Accession of Elizabeth I, The Lion’s Cub 1812 Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia
| History Lectures by Don Chiswell |
|
Talks begin at 7.30pm in the Ballroom £4 (£3) Wed 12 Sept: The Accession of Elizabeth I, The Lion’s Cub Elizabeth I is considered by many to be England’s greatest monarch. Her achievements are perhaps even more remarkable given that she succeeded to the throne at all, after her mother had been executed by her father, she had been declared illegitimate and she had grown up amidst political intrigue and the religious turbulence of the Reformation. Wed 3 Oct: 1066: the Year of the Conquest 1066 was to be a momentous year in the history of England. It was to see three kings on the throne; three invasions and three major battles, the outcome of which changed the course of history. Many myths surround the Battle of Hastings, but what really happened? The truth is even more astonishing than the legend. Wed 21 Nov: Tyburn and the Newgate Calendar By 1800 there were over 250 crimes for which the penalty was death by hanging and constituted what came to be called the ‘Bloody Code’. Throughout the Eighteenth Century, in response to increased criminality (real and perceived) the State imposing harsh punishments meant to serve as a deterrent, strove to maintain law and order. The fate of many of the condemned was recorded as a warning in the Malefactors Register and later in the Newgate Calendar. Wed 19 Dec: 1812 Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812 was to mark the turning point in the fortunes of his Empire. The campaign and the disastrous retreat from Moscow were not only to cost the lives of over half a million of his soldiers, but destroyed the myth of Napoleon’s invincibility. However, Napoleon’s defeat was perhaps more due to his own mistakes than to the Russian winter. What really happened? |

Ladies’ Day by Shoestring Theatre Company by Amanda Whittington Stamford Arts Centre
| Ladies’ Day by Shoestring Theatre Company |
Tues 11 to Sat 15 Sept 7.45pm
by Amanda Whittington
The girls are off to the races. But not any old races. This is Ascot.
When the famous racecourse relocates up to York for one year, Pearl,
Jan, Shelley and Linda put aside their fish-filleting knives and get
dolled up for Ladies’ Day. Amid the fizz, flirting and odd flutter on
the gee-gees, the girls meet a kaleidoscope of characters in a
life-changing adventure – all to a Barry Manilow soundtrack. Raucous,
heart-warming and moving, this is guaranteed to give you a day out
you’ll never forget.
An amateur production by our resident company.
