WEDNESDAY 26 FEBRUARY – A MAGIC LANTERN SPECTACULAR!
Carolyn and Jeremy Brooker, internationally celebrated Maestros of the Magic Lantern, will present the illuminating experience of an authentic nineteenth century entertainment on their rare mahogany and brass triunial magic lantern – combining three projectors in one device!
The spectacular effects and dazzling imagery they conjure up will be complemented with a live accompaniment on the pianoforte by Costas Fotopoulos.
This promises to be a visual and musical treat not to be missed!
Free admission to GHS members.
We warmly welcome visitors at the admission price, on this occasion, of £5 cash on the door on the night.
Doors will open at 7pm.
Please note the Lantern Show will commence at the slightly later time usual at 7.45.
Also please note that owing to the marvellous artistry of the entertainment and as a courtesy to the meticulous skill and showmanship of the Lanternists and Pianists, LATE COMERS SHALL NOT BE ADMITTED!
The entertainment will be held in the magnificent Nelson Room at The Trafalgar Tavern, Park Row, Greenwich SE10 9NW.
Look forward to seeing you there!
Future attractions in our Spring Programme will be The President’s Address on 26 March (following our traditionally brief AGM) and on 23 April, there may yet be enough doggerel verse dished up from which to fashion the GHS Panto!
