Visitors to a city museum will be able to step back into the past and meet the Swan of Lichfield, aka poet Anna Seward.
Actress Rachel Duncan will be bringing her works to life at the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum to honour the new Letters of Lichfield exhibition.
Visitors will enjoy a private viewing of the Museum and new exhibition and a glass of wine included in the evening’s ticket price.
Joanne Wilson at the Birthplace Museum said:
“Anna Seward was a fascinating person with a very strong character, and we are very much looking forward to seeing her brought back to life in the Birthplace.”
The one act play, written and directed by David Titley, will be performed on a timed entry basis from 6.30pm. Tickets cost £5 each and are available to book over the phone on 01543 264 972, by email to sjmuseum@lichfield.gov.uk or in person at the Museum, Breadmarket Street, 10.30-4.30pm daily.
