I am delighted to welcome back to All Things Georgian, Sharon Butler from the Early Dance Circle, who joins me today to publicise their upcoming event, which may well be of interest to you. With that, I will hand you over to Sharon:

That’s wonderful! I hope this spreads. Though being lowbrow, I’d love to see some of the farces I’ve read about performed.

How lovely. I can’t attend as i will be abroad, but i remember learning the Roger de Coverly out of books when I was at school for a project on Queen Anne. that was hilarious as we had no idea what we were doing as 13 year od girsl in 1966/7. Brings back great memories of our history teacher, though who did everything she could to make history fun. Then she had a serious motorbike accident and history became page after dry page. We were not allowed history books with coloured picture in them, though we knew they existed in other schools, The nuns said they would distract us from the learning. hey ho. so the early 18th century is all I know about.

It does sounds like great event, but you enjoy your trip abroad. Perhaps worth keeping an eye out for future such events 🙂
