- 2002
Working in partnership with Hackney Archive, we used research material to create a play about the story of John and Jane Daniell.
John and Jane Daniell lived in a parsonage just off the Narrow Way in Hackney. The couple spent a lot of money on improving the property and buying rich furnishings and silver. They were not able to enjoy this luxury for long as John Daniell was arrested and sent to jail for blackmailing Lord Essex. The house was taken and Jane and her children thrown out on the streets.
The play was toured to 17 junior schools in Hackney where the young people had the opportunity to ask the characters questions and see items from the house.
We then went on to make a film of the story with Quark TV. This work along with an interactive version of the house can be seen at Hackney Archive. This facility is hosted by the National Archive.
