Britain's What's On Event Guide
Boothby's Gift
A new play, covering one hour in 1803, reveals a story of how the famous Herkenrode Glass came to Lichfield Cathedral.
Boothby’s Gift is an emotional account of how Brooke Boothby, a Baronet from Ashbourne in Derbyshire, came to save the glass from the Abbey in Herkenrode, Belgium, which had been sold to developers.
Four characters explore the themes of loss, memory, aspiration and consolation, against the background of Napoleonic conquest and the age of industry.
