Exhibition Theme

Matcham Theme - Lois (11.05.10)
As support of the idea to base the exhibition around the perspective of Frank Matcham, and also to support the idea to create another creative piece (maybe a diary or Facebook/Blogg) written as Matcham himself; here is a link which is a good representation of Victorian speech. The recording is not very clear but its an idea.
'Charge of the light Brigade' read by Tennyson

Also, if anyone's researching its may be a good idea to read/listen to Sherlock Holmes, My Fair lady - Ascot scene or this scene from the film, to get an Idea of the more class structured speech...and the comedy that can be achieved.

It may be an idea also to look at Poetic forms of speech. Shakespeare is a master of this. If we could get an image of Matcham to work like this Shakespeare animation speech it would be GREAT!!

Oh, a good start for this form of Poetic Speech may be Alexander Pope who's work is given pride of place above the stage at Richmond Theatre 'To wake the Soul with tender strokes of art...'
