A new exhibition and pop-up shop celebrating the Arts & Crafts heritage of Letchworth is open for the festive season, located in the town’s Community Museum
An exhibition of works by Gordon House (1932-2004), an artist and graphic designer influential in the British Pop Art scene and brought up in Letchworth, will go on display at the Broadway Gallery next month.
Letchworth Garden City’s rich Arts & Crafts heritage has been brought to life in a new book by Town Historian Josh Tidy and Aimee Flack from the Garden City Collection.
The Hunting of the Snark, a musical based on the classic poem by Alice in Wonderland creator Lewis Carroll, will be performed at the Broadway Theatre on 4 October.
It caused controversy when it hit our screens in 1997 for its brutal satirical style and close-to-the-bone humour, but Brass Eye quickly gained a cult following and is now considered one of the most influential comedy shows of its time.
The shows range from classic children’s stories, through to modern adaptations and newly-created pieces. “We wanted to offer a programme the whole family could enjoy,” said Sue Scott Davison, Creative Programmer for the Broadway Theatre.
