SUMMARY:Open Cambridge: Tales From The Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Tales from the kitchen – old utensils tell a story. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Road History Society invites you to bring an old kitchen utensil or household object along to the Ross Street Community Centre and to recount a short history of it\, how it was used and what it means to you. Perhaps you have something unusual and would like us to guess what it is. Perhaps you don’t know. \n\n\n\nDon’t be shy\, come along and join in. You are\, of course\, also welcome to just come and listen. \n\n\n\nTo get the evening started Ila Chandavarkar and Julia Ewans bring objects from their family histories in India and Cumbria and relate the stories and memories they hold. \n\n\n\nThis is a free event and everyone is welcome. No booking is required. Ross Street Community Centre is a fully accessible venue. Doors open at 7pm\, we will start the event at 7:30pm and finish when we run out of objects. \n\n\n\nIf you are thinking of bringing an object then it would be helpful if you could email admin@millroadhistory.org.uk beforehand so we know numbers but feel free to just turn up.

SUMMARY:An Evening For Allan Brigham
DESCRIPTION:The Mill Road History Society invites you to a live Zoom event to remember the remarkable and much missed Allan Brigham who passed away last September. \n\n\n\nAllan Brigham was one of the founder members of the Mill Road History Society and a valued contributor to Capturing Cambridge\, the website where our research is posted https://capturingcambridge.org/. Allan was active throughout the city in many roles\, but the Mill Road area was always particularly special to him. \n\n\n\nSome who knew him at work\, as an author\, a social activist\, a historian and an inspiring tour leader will share their tributes. We will then show some rarely seen filmed material made by Allan and the evening will end with a chance for anyone attending to share their memories and stories. \n\n\n\nYou can register for the Zoom event on Eventbrite at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cambridge-festival-an-evening-for-allan-brigham-registration-142392396491.

SUMMARY:Event: Chekhov Comes to Mill Road
DESCRIPTION:A demanding stranger comes to call. Send him on his way. But wait – is there more to him and his visit than meets the eye? So begins a Chekhov play which has been adapted for the Cambridge stage by award-winning local playwright Paul Crossley. This\, together with his version of another Chekhov comedy\, will form a double bill of plays re-imagined for the city – and\, specifically\, the area around Mill Road. \nIn The Proposal and The Bear theatregoers can expect references to neighbourhood shops\, cafes\, pubs and even some residents\, during an evening devoted to celebrating Mill Road’s richness and diversity\, proceeds from which will benefit the Mill Road History Society. \nWell-known local actors Les Wheeler\, Emily Redfarn and Gareth Atkinson will double up\, performing the three main characters in each of the plays. American director Michael Howley will be coming over from the United States to direct the plays. \n“We anticipate a unique occasion for performers and audiences alike”\, says dramatist Paul Crossley. “If the young Chekhov had ever visited Cambridge he would certainly have experienced the heady atmosphere of Mill Road. I have ensured that the plays have retained their characters and essential plot but I have freely adapted them to reflect this vibrant part of the city”. \nPaul adds “We have a superb cast on board\, and a talented director who knows the Cambridge scene well. Mill Road History Society and Anglia Ruskin (which runs The Drama Studio) have been wonderfully supportive. And we will have The Six Bells pub for refreshments – before\, at the interval\, and after the performance! All we need now is an audience to share the fun.” \nLucy Walker from the Mill Road History Society says “We are really pleased to support local talent\, and I know that this is going to be an entertaining evening. The idea of placing the 19th century Russian world of Chekhov in Mill Road\, Cambridge in 2017 is intriguing. I hope everyone will come and enjoy the plays. \nWe thank Anglia Ruskin University for generously allowing us to use the Drama Studio in Covent Garden. It is a small\, intimate space – an ideal venue for Paul’s plays”.
