A double header of two stage-shows from Pete the Temp and Danny Chivers....

PETE THE TEMP

Romantics, Mystics & Revolutionaries:

a storytelling storm of rebellion and enchantment

This is a history of riot, enchantment and psychedelic testing, where scholarship collides with live entertainment.

The Romantic movement rose as an act of defiance against empire, industry, and the mechanisation of the soul. What do their dreams of renewal offer our age of despair? Expect reverence and resistance from a time of slavery and war.

Pete Bearder is an award-winning spoken word poet, author, and comic whose work has featured on BBC Radio 4, Newsnight, and the World Service.

DANNY CHIVERS

England: Flagged for Inappropriate Content

Danny grapples with his Englishness (and probably loses) in a special one-off medley of poetry, storytelling and historic re-enactment. What does it mean to be an English rebel? Can we build a better, more inclusive national story? And does it really count as historic re-enactment when you’re talking about events from 2012?

JESS WORTH - OXFORD REBELS AND RADICALS

Sat 26th Sept. 11:00 -13:00

Radical History Walking Tour

[Note: Separate ticket required via link below]

We are linking up with Oxford's very own people's historian Jess Worth to make this a radical history weekender! Follow up Friday night's tales of rebellion by taking to the streets on Saturday, to visit sites of radical resistance around Oxford's historic centre. Learn about epic ‘town vs gown’ riots, fiercely independent medieval women, determined but doomed Levellers, acid-sprinkling Suffragettes and the locals who kicked fascists out of the city for good.
