Eclipsed Success!
The recent production of "Eclipsed" played to enthusiastic audiences. The play covered dark events at Soho House during meetings of the Lunar Society. While Matthew Boulton tried to keep things in order, it was his niece, Nancy Mynd, who solved the crime lying behind the chain of events. The play featured a large cast of Society members and friends, and included some marvelous songs performed with the accompaniment of Peter Churchill (who co-wrote the songs with Anita Halliday). Many thanks to all those who took part and to all of you who came along and supported us! Here are some photographs taken by Ian Edwards and Peter Cole. Talking Shop - Balsall Heath Carnival
The Society took part in the procession for the annual Balsall Heath Carnival on 3rd July. Our contribution was "Ladypool Road Shopkeepers Through The Ages"....with a visit from a French onion seller, selling french onions!We had a stall at the carnival too with a selection of our books and a mini Victorian classroom with a chance to practice hand writing. Some procession images are here to enjoy.
