• CAMBERWELL ARTS - IT'S SHOWTIME!
5th June, 7pm @Golden Goose Theatre
Camberwell Arts Festival this year celebrates the music hall heritage of Camberwell's past. To tie in with the theme of It's Showtime, we are teaming up with Camberwell Arts for this fascinating talk with historian Richard Norman:
Richard will cover the various forms of entertainment, from Victorian times to the end of the 20th century, covering Music Hall, Theatre, Cinema and buildings which were especially constructed to entertain the folk of Camberwell and beyond. The talk will also include the contribution Camberwell has made to the world of entertainment during the early days of pioneering film production and music hall comedy.
This will be a well-illustrated talk also using samples of songs and music. Richard Norman is a local historian specialising in buildings designed for entertainment and has given talks at the Victorian and Albert Museum, Tate Modern and many local history societies.
The Golden Goose theatre is at 146 Camberwell New Road, SE5 0RR and is an accessible venue - find out more here: www.goldengoosetheatre.co.uk
