Events

Drama - Townhouse Voices Presents:
Bricks and Mortar

Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th December
Tickets are £18 (£15 concs) available from Eventbrite

We are thrilled to announce that the Town House Voices theatre company is back with a brand new show at The Regency Town House, to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Brunswick Square.

Poster for Bricks & Mortar, featuring a house with a For Sale sign, all covered in a layer of snow.

'Bricks & Mortar', by Emma Kelly, is a dark comedy that reimagines Dickens' A Christmas Carol set against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain in 1989.

The story follows a money-driven property mogul who is haunted by spirits that force her to confront the consequences of her actions. The play delves into themes of affordable housing and social mobility, with a spotlight on local historical figures like Harriet Waller, who rose from scullery maid to guest house owner. It also explores Brighton’s LGBTQI+ communities, the suffragette movement, and the legacy of local rights campaigner Harry Cowley.

Tying it all together under the theme of ‘the power of community,’ we ask: what truly makes a home—people or bricks?

Set within The Regency Town House, a Grade 1 listed terraced home from the 1820s, the audience will be immersed in various time periods as they journey through this unique space.

The show lasts approx. 90 minutes and includes a drink and refreshments at the end.
