Event Start Date: 16 July 2022 18:15 - 19:30

Location: Somerville College Chapel

Cindy Oswin’s dark comedy ‘Cell’ will be performed in the Chapel and streamed live around the world on July 16th as part of the conclusion of the New Visions of Julian of Norwich conference.

The darkly humorous play examines the impact of ageing on Julian’s theological vision, with an immersive medieval soundscape recreating what Julian may have heard from her anchoritic cell. A Q&A will follow the performance, which is part-funded by The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities as a Knowledge Exchange event for the public.

Cindy Oswin is a writer/actor/director working in theatre with a special interest in archive material leading to performance.
