"SHAKING A LEG": Angela Carter’s Bristol – A Guided Theatre Walk
Join us for an exciting new performance celebrating one of the most important authors of the 20th century. In this immersive theatre walk participants will gain new insights into Bristol’s literary history through a dramatised walk of key locations featured in Angela Carter’s life, journalism, and novels, including landmarks in Clifton and Hotwells, as well as the commemorative plaque on her house in Royal York Crescent.
The walk begins and ends at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Participants are invited to stay for a discussion at the Museum after the walk.
This event is a collaboration between the Angela Carter Society (ACS) and UWE Bristol Drama and Acting Programme, and marks the 80th anniversary of Angela Carter’s career. It commemorates when she began writing her first novel, Shadow Dance, whilst living in Clifton's "Provincial Bohemia" during the summer of 1964. Carter spent her formative years in Bristol (1961-1969), where she wrote her first five novels, three of which are set in the city and known as ‘The Bristol Trilogy’.
The tour will take place come rain or shine, so please bring what footwear and clothing you need to make the tour comfortable! We aim to make the tour as accessible as possible, and there will not be any stairs on the route. This gentle walk is wheelchair accessible, with no big climbs.
