This was sent to the SCA requesting their help with the project. It was commented that it might be better suited to the top-hat and waistcoat wearing gamer community, so I've passed it on. Ifyou're interested, contact Estelle about it.
I have no idea more than what's written here about what this is about, and make no claims for what, if anything, this is really about. Oisín -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re-creating 1890 Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:12:31 -0400 From: Estelle Clements <[email protected] CC: <[email protected]> Good Afternoon, My name is Estelle Clements, I'm the producer of last years Bram Stoker Wedding which took place at St. Anns parish in Dublin (links about this enclosed below). I'm currently liasing with Dublin City Libraries regarding this years One City, One Book event which will be Oscar Wildes' "The Picture of Dorian Gray". This year I will be launching not only a piece of theatre, but a digital re-creation of 1890 using sites like facebook, twitter and skype to allow the public to interact with the world and people of 1890. I know that your focus is pre 17th century, but I wondered if you might have members also interested in the period of 1890 and the world of Oscar Wilde who would be interested in volunteering as characters? I have provided some brief info below. I am available via email, or on my mobile at 0858485825, as well as my post grad office number at DIT- 01 402 7191. Any assistance you might be able to render would be of greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Estelle Clements. There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. So Oscar Wilde wrote, and who would know better? Wildes much talked-about life provides an opportunity to involve the public in the world of history, social networking and digital civics like never before. It offers an opportunity to re-live the scandal and excitement of his life and arrest in the 1890s while functioning as a valuable instrument of civic education. Become part of the 1890s following the daily lives and digital interactions of the glitterati through Facebook, Twitter and even in real life when they take to the streets. Snag photos of the famous personas walking through Dublin, tag them and yourself, watch the drama unfolding as the famous post their lives online, or create a scandal yourself when you post to their walls: Engage in a battle of wits with Oscar Wilde Gossip with Henry Irving Flirt with the beautiful Ellen Terry Investigate Sherlocks next case with Arthur Conan Doyle Bram and Oscar Links http://www.irishtimes.com/indepth/slideshows/stoker/ http://www.rte.ie/podcasts/2009/pc/pod-v-010409-14m36s-mooney.mp3 http://www.dublinonecityonebook.ie/node/89 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
