Portraying women in History | Lesley Smith Interview | 2021
Ойын-сауық
What is the best way to bring people from history to life, tell their stories and understand them?
Lesley Smith has a unique and very effective way to do this and in this episode she tells us about how she started, the audience reaction and something strange and funny stories from along the way!
.
Lesley Smith has been the Curator of #TutburyCastle in Staffordshire since 2000. Lesley is well known for her highly entertaining and informative costumed portrayals of a variety of #historical characters.
I've had the privilege of seeing Lesley's portrayals of #MaryQueenofScots at Tutbury Castle as part of my 2019 Executed Queens tour and in January 2020 I was at Peterborough Cathedral for her first performance of #KatherineofAragon.
I think what Lesley does is completely unique. Her portrayal of women in history, dressed as they would have been, is not a #reenactment, rather she brings these women to life through her monologues and it's as if they are standing there talking to you.
Lesley kindly agreed to join me and answer questions about the women she portrays and how she prepares her characters.
