Do you have a story to tell?


Script-Lichfield

A new community group are setting out to develop short film scripts so...
Do you have a story to tell? Or, a completed film script gathering dust in a drawer. Script - Lichfield want to hear from you. We are looking for like-minded people to join a new and exciting, and above all innovative group based in Lichfield. The aim of our group is to develop film scripts, written by members of the community, in an informal, supportive environment.

Community Engagement project

I've been very busy tracking down and contacting all sorts of people in Lichfield, Cannock, Tamworth and Burton for our research and development work. I've had some really positive responses and interesting conversations - read more about it on my Lichfield Mysteries Community Engagement blog.
There are some fantastic people out there doing brilliant jobs in difficult times. Hopefully Lichfield Mysteries will be able to help them improve people's well-being. I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Hottest (and loudest) ticket in town...

Gather some friends, grab some tickets and have a great night out. Excellent music and fish and chips. What's not to love??

We will be at Drayton Manor Park on Friday at the Visit Tamworth and Visit Lichfield Swap Shop. I may even be in costume...

Come and say hello.

Cathedral Shakespeare

Congratulations to all involved in this weekend's productions of Twelfth Night and The Tempest. It was brilliant to see so many Mysteries 'faces' involved alongside the cathedral community. Will this become a tradition?? There's lots more Shakespeare left to work their way through. The full lenghth version of The Tempest is this years production for Shakespeare in the Park - an open meeting is being held later this month if you are interested in getting involved. Otherwise, see you in the audience!

Exciting news!

Lichfield Mysteries have just received funding from the Arts Council to carry out Research and Development work to increase community engagement - excellent news! The project will engage at least 5 new groups of participants from areas where active participation in the arts is low. We will plan activities relevant to each group and enable them to perform or exhibit in their own local area. This is intended to be a starting point for their inclusion in the 2015 Mysteries - exciting times ahead for the development of Lichfield Mysteries as an organisation. Jill Taylor will be carrying out the work - keep up with her progress on the Lichfield Mysteries Research and Development blog which will be appearing very shortly.
