Overview

Talk by Mary Broughton & Sam Messinger

This talk explores the background of the golden era of Victorian/Edwardian theatre. Discover Sime’s extraordinary rags to riches background and introduction to his life in London. We will be showing some of Sime’s theatrical caricatures that were published in the London periodicals of the time. The Sime Gallery has 213 of these! You will see the humour, characterisation and variety of artistic interpretation Sime gives to his drawings as well as the fascinating stories of some of the actors.


We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
