Synopsis: Enid Cragwort's Amazing Brand-New 1876 Empire Show: the research.
Val Jones v.m.jones@utwente.nl
When I was studying English at Newcastle in the 70's, I received a request to do the research for an educational play to be produced at the University Theatre. The author was, I think, Phil Woods. The topic was life in Newcastle a hundred years earlier - that is, in 1876 - the target audience was school kids and there was money to be had for it! The title was to be Enid Cragwort's Amazing Brand-New 1876 Empire Show. Impoverished and intrigued, I dragged two equally impoverished flat mates from my place in Sunbury Avenue into the library and we spent fascinating hours reading back copies of the Newcastle Journal from 1876. If I remember the material correctly, 1876 was a very cold winter, with skating on the Tyne for many weeks. There was much discussion in the press about the American declaration of independence a hundred year's earlier and about the French Revolution roughly another hundred before that. The Swing Bridge was built in 1876. I seem to remember reading that one woman commented on it "The works of God are wonderful, but the works of man. . .!!!" or words to that effect. The adverts were as revealing as the news. 'Dr Kings Pills' would cure everything (including both diarrhoea and constipation) and to speed walk you could buy 'Amazing Spring Boots'. The props department made a real pair of spring-soled boots for the production and one unfortunate actor had to risk his neck bouncing Zebedee-like across the stage. Just scraping the deadline, I gave the only copy of the research to the director (this was back in the days of typewriters!) who promised faithfully to copy it to me (but never did!) - so all this is from memory, and hence perhaps not to be entirely trusted! If anyone has a copy, please send it! VJ 24/2/2006
