Theatre in Norwich in the Long 18th Century - A virtual talk
Michael has led on the coordination of the Society's Historians Group talks for a number of years. He has a particular interest in theatre and in this talk he shares his research on theatre in Norwich during what historians call 'The Long 18th Century', from the Restoration period in the early 17th century through to the Regency period in the early 19th century.
In the Society's third Historians virtual talk Michael explores what sorts of dramatic performances could be seen in Norwich, where these took place and the censorship theatre companies frequently had to deal with.
