CONSULTANCY
MAY 2014
LEWES, SUSSEX
Montfort’s march reconstructed in Battle of Lewes anniversaryHistorical consultant to ‘Montfort’s March’: an Arts Council funded site-specific theatre project commemorating the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Lewes. In May 2014, as part of the celebrations to mark the 750th anniversary of the Battle of Lewes, Montfort’s March, a site-specific promenade play, was produced and performed on the South Downs above the town of Lewes. This play was supported with funding by Arts Council England and produced in association with the Houses of Parliament and the History of Parliament project. As one of the historical consultants to the team writing, producing and performing the play, I suggested material for inclusion, helped with character development and ensured that, as much as possible, the play remained historically accurate. |
