ADFAS Yarra - Covent Garden and Drury Lane Theatres Royal
About
Simon Whitehouse will explain the origins of two legendary theatres that gave birth to modern West End theatre. In 1663, King Charles II revived British Theatre after 18 years of closure by issuing royal licenses to two men, laying the foundations of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.Meet the men that shaped the buildings and starred at the Theatres: David Garrick, Richard Sheridan and Augustus Harris. Encounter the trailblazing women who took these stages by storm including Nell Gwynne, Mrs Siddons and Adelina Patti.
The Special Interest Day includes two afternoon lectures (an hour each) and an afternoon tea between each lecture.
