Medical History, Immersive Museum Theatre, and 'The Last Women'
Dr Norwood Andrews, late of Austin, Texas, has joined the Centre for the History of Medicine to participate in Coventry-based Triangle Theatre Company’s new production, ‘The Last Women’. Dr Andrews is a historian with expertise in the medicine of execution.
'The Last Women' is inspired by the histories of Mary Ball, hanged in Coventry in 1849, and Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in Britain in 1955. The project brings together historical research with improvisational enquiry in a series of formal and informal events and interactions between a company of seven professional actors, experts, young people, and other members of the public.
