BOATS Theatre Company Presents "Your Past Performed" - Fulbourn Village
Join us for an evening of exploring Fulbourn's past through theatre. Based On A True Story (BOATS) Theatre Company specialise in dramatising true stories and historical events, and historian and writer Dr Sean Lang has written a new play telling the story of local boy George Brewster.
In 1875 Fulbourn Hospital was the scene of a tragedy that changed history, when young George Brewster died of asphyxiation cleaning the chimney of one of the hospital’s boilers. His tragic death and the attempts at a cover-up that followed it caused a national scandal that changed the law to ensure no child was ever sent up a chimney again.
The evening will open with an introduction from Sean followed by the play, performed script in hand. There will then be a short refreshment break followed by time for feedback and discussion.
The play is written for an adult audience but is suitable for all ages.
The event will be held at the Fulbourn Centre where there is plenty of free parking onsite and nearby.
Tickets can also be purchased on the door with cash or card.
