From booking the venue to coordinating the parking and refreshments, many aspects of putting on a show have changed little in the past three hundred years. In this webinar, Dr Lizzy Buckle will explore Georgian newspapers, tickets, notebooks and diary entries to reconstruct the tasks, trials, and triumphs of the budding eighteenth-century impresario.
This talk will last for one hour. A link to the Zoom Webinar will be sent out upon registration. Participants will not be visible. We invite you to ask questions using the Q&A function. A recording will be circulated to all registered attendees after the event.
