An annotated performance-lecture by the master showman-historian Dr Tony Lidington (AKA the Reverend Uncle Tacko!) Find-out about the history of pre-cinema and itinerant storytellers - or ‘raree men’, as they were known.

Travelling showmen have been telling their tales of morality and mortality for centuries and this is an engaging glimpse into that world, with a chance to get your hands on some of the optical devices that were used before the bioscope and cinema came into being.
