You may be familiar with the renowned local lady folklorist, Miss Mabel Peacock. Mabel was a 19th-20th Century pioneer in documenting, preserving, and creating local Lincolnshire folklore material, alongside contemporary scientific and philosophical studies.
But did you know Mabel Peacock was also a playwright? There are six playscripts thought to have been written by Mabel in the Peacock family archive. Though one play stands out, attributed to a mysterious and unknown author: a ‘Lucian Wetherell’. Who is Lucian ‘Wetherell’? And why was ‘his’ play among Mabel's manuscripts?
You can attend the Museum or watch from home so please choose the correct ticket option. Thank you
