The Priest-hole Builder - Performed by Dan Hastings
About the event
🔦 Step into the shadows of history!
Join us for an immersive monologue as we unravel the compelling tale of Nicholas Owen, the celebrated architect behind hidden priest-holes during the tumultuous reign of Elizabeth I. Armed men invade homes, tearing apart walls in pursuit of Catholic priests. In a time when being a Catholic was deemed treasonous, Owen became a beacon of hope for those in peril.
✨ What to Expect:
- A narrative filled with bravery and cunning,
- Insight into Owen's life from his youth to his final days,
- Encounters with the priests he protected and the looming threat of capture,
- A glimpse into historical events like the Armada and the Gunpowder Plot, and their impact on English Catholics.
