Bringing History to Life in Birmingham
Wroxeter
A group of actors with learning difficulties are set to bring English history to life – including Vikings and Romans – in a free performance in the heart of Birmingham.
The Living Book Theatre Company will perform The Complete History of England (Part One), at St Martin’s in the Bullring on Friday 23 July at 12.30pm.
The theatre group is run through the national support provider Affinity Trust’s Opportunities Service SCORE, which supports people with learning disabilities in Hereford.
The production, funded by English Heritage, has already been performed at English Heritage sites and popular tourist attractions across the West Midlands and the South West.
Opportunities Manager of Affinity Trust’s SCORE programme, Rosie Wooderson, said: “We are delighted to be able to work with English Heritage to bring our production to Birmingham.
“It is an entertaining, light-hearted take on English history spanning the first two million years and is a great opportunity for the actors to showcase their talents,” she added. “It’s free to all and we promise people will be entertained.”
