Drama
On Friday night we welcome MESH Theatre for a production of their one act drama The Soldier. A captivating play by award-winning writer Rachel Wagstaff inspired by war poet Rupert Brooke and his contemporaries.
MESH Theatre takes high-quality professional drama to historic locations. They produce living theatre where history speaks, bringing truth and life to stories in sites significant to their origins. In this way they breathe life into our past in a way which only live, up-close theatre can achieve.
The play will be preceded by a talk about Rupert Brooke and the significance of his poetry by Brooke expert Dr Alisa Miller.
Exhibit Hall Stands
The Festival Bookshop is where you can buy books to be signed by our speakers. This is also the venue for the author book signings.
There will also be information stands where you can view the offerings of our partner associations and organisations. If you can find the time amongst the packed speaker programme, there is plenty of browsing to pique your interest!
