Lessons From History
A new Charlbury based production of two short plays has successfully been accepted by the Burton Taylor Studio, part of the Oxford Playhouse. The two plays, Paddy Hitler written by Kieran Cooke and An Innocuous Prick written by Ian Cox, are on in January and proceeds will be given to Crisis, the UK charity for people experiencing homelessness. Paddy Hitler looks at the often tortured life of Paddy Hitler, son of Hitler’s elder half-brother and an Irish mother: as WWII approaches Britain is desperate to win Paddy over to its side. An Innocuous Prick focuses on local rows, riots and politics as compulsory smallpox inoculations are introduced in the late C19 and the impact on the small Oxfordshire town of Charlbury. We are looking for a couple of parts still to be filled, so please get in touch if you are interested.
