We are working with fragments from a musical, Jellicoe (2003), about the life of one of the pioneering reformers in Somers Town, Fr Basil Jellicoe (1899-1935); to produce a series of performed vignettes as part of a guided walk for invited guests and Open House visitors, at locations on the street (chosen as part of our forthcoming Heritage Trail) and in St Mary’s Parish Church, which will be followed by a workshop on the future of Somers Town, in view to becoming a Conservation Area.
We are showcasing the area, its radical history, social conditions and our work as A Space For Us ~ People’s Museum Somers Town to an audience who will be thinking and making decisions about its future.
