A Reading of
‘THE MAN WITH THE GOLD’
COURT ROOM
Monday 25th November 7.30pm
Jan Woolf has developed a full-length centenary play
The Man With the Gold, from three readings that have
taken place at Newark Civil War Museum, 28 January
2017; St John’s College, Oxford, 23 September
2016 and at the Cockpit Theatre, London, January
2016. Jan Woolf’s new play conjures the person of
Lawrence from the grave, giving him the chance to
address us directly and debunk the myth industry
which conscripted his ghost so lucratively.
Join the Drama and Classics Departments for
a reading of the play followed by a Q & A
with Jan about her experience as writer-
in-residence with the Great Arab Revolt
archaeological dig in Jordan in 2013,
which inspired The Man With the Gold.

original than any other published
version.” Making use of traditional
carols to underscore the action, this
immersive version of A Christmas Carol will envelop the audience in a Dickensian world
of snow, mince pies and ghostly visions. Join the CH senior pupils as they follow the
successful sell out performances of West Side Story with this timely Christmas classic.
