An Evening with Bess of Hardwicke (1527-1608)
DATE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED
Join actress Suzanne B. Manzi at Drift Gallery for a theatrical interpretation of the life and times of Bess of Hardwicke. Suzanne will present an original interpretation of Bess in period attire accompanied by traditional 16th century music, along with a picture of what living in the 1500’s was like. Bess loved gossip (and hated the Queen!) and it will definitely be a part of her theatrical performance!
Bess was one of the most remarkable personalities of Elizabethan/Shakespearean England. Born the daughter of an obscure and impoverished Derbyshire Squire, her advantageous marriages to four prosperous (but short lived) husbands took her to the Royal Court as lady in waiting to Queen Elizabeth I, and made her the Countess of Shrewsbury, the second richest woman in all of England, next to the Queen. ‘Bess The Builder’ remains well-known for her architectural accomplishments, the most famous of which are Chatsworth, now the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire.
LIMITED SEATING! Please R.S.V.P. below!
