Action Arts Group: The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists
Thornbury Methodist Church Hall
Neil Gore presents a one-person magic lantern show, a version of the classic novel by Robert Tressell featuring projection, political conjuring tricks, live music and song. Meet the famous characters and enjoy the scenes, speeches and songs, including the Great Money Trick as its centrepiece.
Following a year in the life of a group of Edwardian painters, it traces their hardships and struggles for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England. These workers are the philanthropists who throw themselves into back-breaking work for poverty wages to generate profit for their masters.
