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. We’ll explore Georgian newspapers, tickets, notebooks and diary entries to write a ‘To do’ list for the budding eighteenth-century impresario.
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.
