Studio Theatre at Salisbury Museum

STUDIO Theatre is moving to Salisbury Museum next week (June 3-5) to perform a specially commissioned piece devised and directed by Studio member Lesley Bates as part of the Museum’s Bloomsbury in Wiltshire summer exhibition.

The Blue Stocking and the Shepherdess: Bloomsbury Life at Ham Spray looks at the Bloomsbury years at Ham Spray House in Wiltshire through the lens of the women who lived there.

Artist Dora Carrington and diarist Frances Partridge were the mistresses of Ham Spray House between 1924 and 1960 and recorded what went on there in their letters and diaries.

Studio members Rachel Fletcher, Yetti Dutton, Sophie Townsend, Caroline Butcher, Tamsin Jacson and Dave Simmons offer a revealing insight into the lives of the Bloomsbury set.

This the second time the Museum has collaborated with the amateur drama company, following the success of Darling Edith and Others, performed during the Museum’s Rex Whistler exhibition two years ago.

Performances take place at the Museum from June 3-5 at 7pm. Tickets (£10 for Museum members and £12 for non-members) are available online at https://salisburymuseum.org.uk/whats-on/studio-theatre-and-salisbury-museum-presents-the-bluestocking-and-the-shepherdess-bloomsbury-life-at-ham-spray/
