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”.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Cambridge 'Bedders'
DESCRIPTION:Author Catherine Seymour will be talking about the lives of the Cambridge ‘Bedders’ following the recent launch of her book on the subject\, The Staircase Girls. \nHere is an extract from the book. \nJoyce leaned her black Triumph bicycle against a wall\, and shivered in the foggy\, early dawn light. Glancing up at the enormous wooden\, carved gate\, she hesitated. This was a secret world she was about to enter…For 16 year old Joyce\, who lived in one of the poorest streets in Cambridge\, the college building where she was about to enter represented privilege\, wealth\, a life she’d never live. As a bedder\, Joyce would be working up and down one of the stone staircases\, making the beds of the male students\, sweeping floors\, dusting desks. She never expected to also find herself mothering\, chastising and sometimes even covering up for ‘her boys’. The Staircase Girls takes us into the lives of Joyce and other bedders\, like Nance\, Maud\, Rose and Audrey. They endured the Second World War and then had to contend with poverty\, ill health and bereavement. They loved\, lost and loved again. But their friendships gave them strength\, and their work gave them happiness – and even a lasting connection with their charges\, some of whom would go on to run the country. Revealing their untold stories for the first time\, this is a vivid\, poignant account of these remarkable women’s lives. \nThe event is in the St Barnabas Centre\, behind St Barnabas Church. Doors open at 7pm with the talk starting at 7:30pm. Fully accessible venue\, all welcome. \n

SUMMARY:Hands On: The Suzy Oakes Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Society has been given a large box of photos\, clippings and documents by the Suzy Oakes Trust that need sorting through and cataloguing so that we can scan them and make them available to researchers and other interested parties.

If you are interested in Romsey School there are some pieces which you may like to see. Much of  this material is in poor condition but we need to check that we do not throw anything away that is important. \nThis hands on session will be held at the Bath House on Gwydir Street between 7pm and 9pm. As this is smaller than our usual venues then please email admin@millroadhistory.org.uk if you are thinking about coming along so we have an idea of numbers.
