Agincourt Archer

This year’s meeting in this category will be ‘The Agincourt Archer’ presented by Simon Waterfield on the 15th June. Simon researches and monologues about events and people in history and performs his stories as a monologue in character in the first person. This makes the event come alive for the audience. The archer tells of his experiences before, on the way to, and at war, in Agincourt, and how they affected him and his family on his return, and his reflections on the meaning of war and remembrance. It includes historical anecdotes, and reproduction historical artefacts which are used as part of the drama to bring history and the archer’s story to life.
Humour and emotion are strong elements of the tale, as is some assistance from Shakespeare. Please inform and invite your spouses, children to this meeting which will no doubt give them an enjoyable and interesting evening but also allow them to see and meet your fellow members.
