Fantastic
locations for this year’s dramas about Sir Walter to coincide with the 400th
anniversary of his death. First there was Hayes Barton – Raleigh’s birthplace
just outside East Budleigh – for the first performance of Steve Andrews’ From
Exe to Axe on 21 August.
And
looking forward to 14 and 15 September we have 2TimeTheatre's production of ‘Sir Walter’s Women’ in the
Great Hall at Winchester, where Raleigh was tried for treason in 1603.
Pictured
here, inspecting the location in advance of the performance, are actors Adam
Kotz, Liz Garland and Jilly Bond who play Raleigh, Bess Throckmorten and Queen
Elizabeth I.
Adam
Kotz seeks inspiration from the history of Sir Walter Raleigh
Where
else for a play about Sir Walter?
Could a possible location be the Tower of
London, where Raleigh spent 13 long years as a prisoner after his trial in
Winchester?

19.00 – Friday 14 September
18.00 and 20.00 – Saturday 15
