About this listen
The Morecambe Winter Gardens is a Grade 2* Listed Theatre. For five years Professor Vanessa Toulmin has been the Chair of the Preservation Trust responsible for raising over £4.4 Million pounds of funding to stabilise the building and restore its important features.
Vanessa discusses the contested history of the venue, placing it in the wider context of 20th century performance studies and examining previously unknown histories that reveal a different narrative to the standard seaside variety hall that it has been placed within.
