Staffordshire Library & Information Service write to tell us that local historian Richard Talbot will be launching his new book ‘That’s Entertainment’ at Newcastle Library as part of the Staffordshire History Festival.

The dates are as follows:

29th Sept 10am – FREE book talk

30th Sept and 1st Oct 11am-3pm – book launch

Richard describes his book as follows: “That’s entertainment is not a history of the building, but rather a complete package of 18th and 19th centuries of social and cultural life in the town. This talk is ideal for students of theatre history and local residents to expand their understanding of both theatre development and how it enriched the people’s lives in Newcastle”

The book will be available to buy at any of the events above.
