Event information

The renowned actress Alison Neil, returns with her latest one-woman show, followed by a question & answer session and a home-cooked meal.*
Mrs Sarah Baker shone brightly as a theatre manager at the beginning of the 1800s. Starting as a child in her family's troupe, she never learnt to read, but she could dance on a rope. Her family toured the country, classed as 'rogues and vagabonds' who could be run out of town or imprisoned at the whim of a local magistrate or mayor.
Cheerfully optimistic in a precarious world of make-believe and slapstick, they provided a touch of magic wherever the wagons stopped.
As Mrs Baker herself would say, it shows what you can do with just three things: good health, hard work, good luck ... and some very good friends. She couldn't add up, either.
