SUMMARY:Brian Freeland - View from the Wings
DESCRIPTION:This talk developed from Brian’s experiences with everything from variety (Butlins and the London Palladium) to the Royal Shakespeare Company\, National Theatre\, Scottish Opera and Sadler’s Wells Ballet.  The stage manager’s view from the prompt corner is very different to that from a comfortable seat in the Stalls or Circle. Reality theatre – no retakes\, and ‘slightly saucy’.  Brian’s career started in 1959\, direct from National Service\, as a trainee manager at the London Palladium and it has taken him to 43 different countries including 3 residencies in the Middle East\, 8 tours of the Indian sub-continent and around the globe twice.  Approaching retirement\, he branched out into directing amateur dramatics\, writing scripts and giving talks – and finally found time to write his long-promised autobiography called “Meanderings: a River and a Life”.

SUMMARY:The Road to Peace is Paved with Headstones: The work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission\, its history and legacy.
DESCRIPTION:As we commemorate the anniversaries of The Great War and The Second World War there has been much focus on remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice.  This talk highlights the role played by those men and women who established an organisation\, now known as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission\, so that remembrance of their sacrifice will endure in perpetuity.  We look at the architectural and physical characteristics of the cemeteries and memorials as well as the underlying principles that govern their design.  In addition\, we will have a brief introduction to the Commission’s presence in Oxfordshire and the surrounding area.  Dick Richards is a ‘Champion’ and Volunteer with The Commission and delivers talks many and various societies and is delighted to spread the story of this extraordinary organisation.

SUMMARY:Everyday Life and Accidental Death in Tudor Oxfordshire
DESCRIPTION:Tudor England was a dangerous place.  There were plagues and wars\, perilous childbirths and shocking infant mortality.  But what risks did people face as they went about their everyday lives?  Steven Gunn of Merton College and Tomasz Gromelski of Wolfson College are investigating this problem using evidence from coroner’s reports preserved in the National Archives.  The four-year project entitled “Everyday Life and Fatal Hazard in Sixteenth-century England” is based in Oxford and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council\, with support from the Faculty of History and Merton and Wolfson Colleges.  Steven is Acting Warden\, Tutor in History and Professor of Early Modern History Research.
