Hat, Hands and Hierarchies: A True Story of Titus Salt Jr, Catherine and Gregory the Butler

July 19 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
£7.50
Two people in Victorian-era costume stand outside a historic stone building. A man dressed as a butler, wearing a black tailcoat, white gloves, and carrying a silver tray, listens attentively to a woman in a black velvet cape and tall top hat. The woman gestures while holding a pair of spectacles. Behind them are neatly kept gardens, stone buildings, and benches, creating the atmosphere of a historical reenactment or heritage event.

A new performance featuring Catherine Salt, wife of Titus Salt Junior and her butler Gregory. Explore life in service, rules of etiquette, life upstairs and downstairs, Royal Visit to Milner Field and Titus Salt Junior’s sad demise. Joanne Crowther and Adrian Slater play the key characters, with wit and audience interaction.
