TALK: Curtain Up: An illustrated talk on the Victorian Theatres and Performing Spaces of Wales

Suggested Donation: £6 per adult
Step into the spotlight of Wales’ rich theatrical past with Curtain Up, an illustrated talk by historian Rob Firman at Parc Howard Museum in Llanelli. This fascinating presentation will uncover the story of Victorian theatres and performance spaces across Wales—where they were built, which ones have survived, and those that have sadly been lost.
Discover the grand designs of Wales’ historic theatres, the challenges they have faced over time, and how some Victorian buildings found a new life as performance venues. Rob will also explore the future of these architectural treasures, including the Victorian theatres that remain at risk.
This talk is perfect for history enthusiasts, theatre lovers, and anyone curious about Wales' cultural heritage. A £6 suggested donation per adult will help support future talks and events at the museum.
Join us for an engaging and insightful afternoon as we lift the curtain on a forgotten world of Victorian entertainment!
