Performance dates for E.M. Barraud evening
PERFORMANCE ABOUT E.M.BARRAUD – SAVE THE DATE!
Jane Bower writes:
Readers will recall that I put out a request for any memories or information about former Lt. Eversden resident Enid M. Barraud, known as John, as I am preparing a presentation about her life and work. It is proving a fascinating project, taking me to London and Rochester to meet family members, and making contacts in Devon and Surrey. Huge thanks to the many people who offered assistance of any kind. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to meet and talk with you. Every contribution has helped me to build up a picture of the remarkable person who is the subject of my fifth solo show. (I had decided to stop at four but John changed my mind!)
Call Me John – words, sounds and images from the life of E. M. Barraud, WWII land girl will have its first performance at The Eversdens Village Hall on Wednesday July 1st 2026 at 7.30pm. It will be followed by a question and answer session and, we hope, some refreshments. A second performance will be given at Downing Place Church, Cambridge CB2 3EL on Thursday July 9th 2026, also at 7.30pm. This is an inclusive church and a beautiful, light, spacious and recently refurbished concert venue right opposite John Lewis, with the large Grand Arcade car park beneath.
We are not yet at the stage of ticket and booking arrangements, but I wanted you to have the dates in case you wish to attend and/or to tell others about the events.
Many thanks to Anne Francis who has been very helpful in organising hall arrangements and a visit for myself and my technician. If I may put out a further plea in advance, we will need helpers to organise refreshments, take bookings for seats and to hand out programmes on the night. If this is something you are able and willing to help with, please do contact me on 07753435151 or jane-bower@ntlworld.com. I would be most grateful for your help – thank you! – and I do hope to see you at Call Me John.
