I have taken part in sessions which took place in Hall Green Library (about which, by the way, I plan to write soon for my series of articles on Birmingham’s libraries) and in Moseley Bog. The aim of the project is to produce an audio guide around Sarehole Mill and Moseley Bog, two historical landmarks and iconic places because of their connection to J.R.R. The project is organised by the Birmingham REP Theatre, which, by the way, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The project is called ‘Light from the Shadows’ – a name that reminds me of a line from a poem by Professor Tolkien and which could not be more befitting because the project is about Moseley Bog – the place about which I have written often in this blog and which was the favourite childhood playground of the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I am proud to announce that I am taking part in a new writing and performance project that has been running for over a month now.
