    “ Even more than most theatre, Regent’s Park becomes an event and a small adventure” Daily Telegraph, June 2015 As Peter Pan flew high above our audience and Lord of the Flies once again crashed into Regent’s Park, our reputation for producing on an epic scale in London was certainly taken to new heights. Our brand of blockbuster storytelling is now also celebrated across the country with last year’s sell-out tour of To Kill a Mockingbird, culminating with a month-long residency at the Barbican, and Lord of the Flies now touring the UK until April 2016. “ Sensationally stunning…captivating from start to finish; the set was completely breathtaking. Lord of the Flies is, without question, the best play I have ever seen” Get Bucks, October 2015 We are an entirely self-funded charity with ticket sales accounting for over 90% of income, yet we continue to engage and develop a diverse audience. As the Evening Standard noted, our new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, commissioned in its 120th anniversary year, was “exactly what the currently crest-of-a-wave Open Air Theatre should be putting on: a lively new version of a classic for a wider audience than Russian playwrights tend to garner”. Meanwhile, our programme of investment to renew the fabric of the Open Air Theatre continued with the replacement of theatre’s bar and restaurants prior to the season. “ London’s most magical outside theatre space” The Guardian, May 2015 Timothy Sheader William Village Peter Pan.

Bloodshed, holy men, a domineering wife, and a haemophiliac son are recurring themes in studies of Nicholas’ reign. There is also a tendency to overlook the four girls in white dresses who appear on the margins of these narratives: the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna, daughters of the tsar.

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №127 October 2018 EMPRESS MARIA FEODOROVNA (1847-1928) 90 years ago Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna died Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna died on 13 October 1928, in Hvidøre mansion, Klampenborg, Denmark. She was born Princess Marie Sophie Frederikke Dagmar on 26 November 1847, at the Yellow Palace in Copenhagen. Her father was Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (Later King Christian IX of Denmark) and mother was Princess Louise of Hesse. On June 11, 1866, the Tsarevich and Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich decided to make a proposal, and wrote to his father about that day: “I was about to talk with her several times, but I couldn’t decide everything, although we were several times together. When we looked at a photographic album together, my thoughts were not at all on the pictures; I was just thinking how to proceed with my request. Finally, I decided, and did not even have time to say what I wanted. Minnie rushed over my neck and cried. Of course, I also could not refrain from tears. I told her that our dear Nixa prays a lot for us and, of course, at this moment is happy with us. Tears flowed from me. I asked her if she could love anyone else besides dear Nixa. She told me that no one but his brother, and again we hugged tight. We talked a lot and remembered about Nixa, about the last days of his life in Nice and his demise. Then came the Queen, the King and the brothers, everyone hugged us and congratulated us.

You're staring at the screen asking how on earth this episode ties to their joys and insecurities. I enjoyed this book very much, and so have given it four stars. At first I was cautious and thought it would be one of those difficult reads with lots of boring facts and historical information that would be long to read. I understand that you can't write about the sisters without mentioning the parents. I will also send you regular updates in this newsletter about my work and speaking events. We learn of how the girls nursed the injured, how they studied and how they forlornly hung on to every word about life outside of the one they lived in.

  • Empire and Its Discontents: an Examination of Kilmainham Gaol and Aapravasi Ghat, Robert Deba
    EMPIRE AND ITS DISCONTENTS: AN EXAMINATION OF KILMAINHAM GAOL AND AAPRAVASI GHAT Robert Deba Abstract: Despite being separated by over 6,339 miles, Kilmainham Gaol and Aapravsai Ghat are inextricably linked as artefacts documenting the legacy of the British Empire. This essay shall consider the geo-historical and socio-political dimensions of each by examining them under a lens for both form and function. Chronologically, it shall consider events across the long nineteenth century (1789-1914).1 Consequently, it shall enable an understanding of the role of these events’ contextual impact upon the British Empire by birthing the related, nascent independence movements; the shaping of its legacy; and recasting of its identity.2 The apparatus and framework of the British Empire was vast, unwieldy and heterogeneous. Ranging from Ireland, since antiquity; it sprawled to India, in the 17th to 19th century; and beyond to the New World.34 Residing in relative isolation, the island histories of both Gaelic Ireland and multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic Mauritius (intimately linked with India) have been shaped by the imperious agenda of the British Empire. Their relatively peripheral geographical locations belie their major role within the Empire and its dictates. Kilmainham Gaol and Aapravasi Ghat (a Hindi term, meaning ‘immigration depot’) are stark symbols of the British Empire. Visually; aesthetically; architecturally; the form and functional components of the built environment of each reflect the aims and objectives of the Empire. Furthermore, they inform both its own identity; those of its former territories; and its unwitting legacy, the consequence of unintentional outcomes. By examining each at a granular, detailed, micro level, the essay’s critical analysis combines perspicacious information and discerns pertinent data, thereby enabling a more sophisticated exposition regarding the macro level: Irish-Anglo; Anglo-Indian; and, tangentially, Irish-Indian relations.

He was an alumnus of the Lawrenceville School and of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Upon graduation, he moved to New York. At one time, he lived on Reade Street in Tribeca, and at the time of his death, he lived in #7C at 160 Front Street near the Fulton Fish Market.1 He divided his time between two kinds of writing, one being business writing. He was a staff writer for Forbes Magazine and Institutional Investor and managing editor of Treasury and Risk Management and The Daily Deal. He was also a drama and dance critic.

  • Prince Albert and the Reception of the Chorale in England
    Prince Albert and the reception of the chorale in England This Report revisits the path of the Reception of the chorale harmonisations of Johann Sebastian Bach into British musical life, particularly suggesting that royal influence in the period of Albert, Prince Consort, (r.1840 – 1861), was a significant and underappreciated factor in the introduction of chorales generally to hymnology in Great Britain, and influenced the reception in particular of Johann Sebastian Bach. Reception of the Chorale into hymnody in England coincides in time with the later period of Prince Albert’s life and especially, as we shall see, his last days and death. The turning point in achieving widespread adoption and appreciation of chorales lies in the mass-circulation ‘Hymns Ancient and Modern’, in which chorales were set with music in 1861. The precursor was the publication of chorale texts in the specialist publication Lyra Germanica of 18551. In 1862 Lyra Germanica was reissued as the ‘Chorale Book for England,’ with adapted texts and musical settings. In the preface Catherine Winkworth sets out a conscious desire to embrace the musical language of Germany: ‘where the country is so nearly akin to our own, may we feel that it is at once our privilege and our duty to appropriate all that she can bestow on us, and to hope that her gifts will find a welcome and a home here’.2 To appreciate the eventual cultural impact of this reception we need to begin at the end: by 19063 the next derivative, the ‘English Hymnal’ contained 22 settings by Bach, outstripping any other composer.4 The Passiontide Chorale, ‘O Sacred Head Sore Wounded’5 in particular, became a staple of Holy Week observance in the English (and Scottish) churches, a moment when a specifically Lutheran text and melody form the focus of worship.

The Cabinet had decided to suppress with a firm hand the increasing disorder in the country and come to grips with the growing challenge of Bolshevism. Such a step would very probably lead to popular rioting, which, in turn, would have to be met with armed force; should serious strife ensue, the royal family would be among the first victims demanded by the mob. He had experienced one such manifestation already. At Moscow, as early as March 20, extremists had interrupted Kerensky during his first speech in that city and demanded the execution of the Tsar. Kerensky had shouted in reply: 'I Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs not be the Marat of the Russian Revolution! One abortive attempt, moreover, had actually been made to kidnap the Tsar and imprison him in the Russian Bastille, the fortress of St. Peter and St. A certain Maslovsky, a Social Revolutionary of the Left, had presented himself one day, in the uniform of a colonel, to Khobylinsky, the responsible Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs in charge of the Summer Palace, and presented an order requiring the Commandant to deliver up Nicholas Romanov.
