A VISIT
WITH QUEEN VICTORIA: In 1837, teenaged Victoria ascended to the
British throne, untrained and innocent. Those who would try to usurp her power
underestimated this self-willed intelligent young woman whose mettle sustained
her through her 63-year reign. Using Queen Victoria's diary and letters, this
program reveals the personal details of a powerful yet humane woman, who took
seriously her role as monarch in a time of great expansion. She and her
husband, Albert, set an example of high moral character and dedication, a
novelty in the royal house after generations of scandal. During her reign, she
survived seven assassination attempts and there were 17 Presidents of the
United States. With passion, charm and
wit, Sally Mummey dispels the myths and fables that obscure Queen Victoria. In
a first person portrayal, Miss Mummey captures the essence of the Queen by
using Victoria’s own words and performs this living history in proper 19th
century clothing resplendent with Royal Orders.
About Sally Mummey: For more than twenty years Sally Mummey has
brought First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln to life for hundreds of audiences
throughout the eastern U.S. Using storytelling and a good dash of humor, she
engages audiences of all ages in dynamic, interactive, first-person portrayals.
Mummey is an award-winning lifetime member of the Association of Lincoln
Presenters. She is also a member of the Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans
of the Civil War, the Society of Europe, the Victorian Society, and the Surratt
Society, as well as Solo Together, a New England-based organization of
re-enactors who portray political figures from 19th- and 20th- century America.
Open to the public, this program on Thursday, April 12 at
6:30pm is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities. For more information on New Hampshire
