Historical Characters, one woman shows and plays
History’s Maid is a historical interpretation and research company with a passion for bringing history to life in a variety of creative, authentic and engaging ways through workshops and presentations designed for a variety of venues and audiences. Available for commissions.
First World War
The Shell Girl - meet Mo, a cheeky 'canary' who works in a munitions factory to do her bit for the lads on the Front...
Testament of Youth - based on Vera Brittain's account of the First World War, recalling how she lost the man she loved, nursed the wounded and emerged into an altered world.
Edith Cavell - celebrated for helping hundreds of allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium, this interpretation tells the story of the British nurse who said that 'I can't stop while there are lives to be saved'.
Schools/Education
Have you ever wondered what Florence Nightingale was really like? What life was like under the Romans? Was King Tutankhamun’s tomb really cursed? What it was like to live on the home front in Wartime Britain? Or whether or not Anne Boleyn was really guilty of Treason?
Then let History’s Maid give the answers in workshops and story telling designed to engage, inspire and educate. Sessions for Key Stage1 & 2 currently include Egyptology, Romans, Tudor, Victorian and Second World War.
