Anna Seward: Woman of Enlightenment
Take a bracing, enlightening stroll through the Georgian era with the indomitable Anna Seward—poet, social commentator, and fiercely independent spirit. In this captivating promenade performance, Seward shares candid tales from her life: her literary triumphs, scandalous gossip from society, and the struggles of a woman determined to think and live on her own terms.

Witty, sharp, and ahead of her time, Seward offers an unfiltered glimpse into 18th-century England from a woman’s perspective rarely heard but impossible to ignore.
“Vividly brings to life a woman ahead of her time.” — Buxton Fringe Review
