Rory Fraser and I were on the first ten minutes of Front Row tonight – link as below – talking about Vanbrugh: the multifariousness of his talents; Rory on his plays; me on how and why he became an architect – I wish we knew; Rory on the role of the Kit-Cat Club and how modern he was; me on the exhibition at the Soane Museum and the glories of the three watercolour drawings of Blenheim done by Soane’s assistants to illustrate his lectures.
The exhibition closes on June 28th. so it’s more than half way through. Do please go if you haven’t already. And there are still lots of events planned for Vanbrugh300, including a conference in Durham on July 8th. on Vanbrugh’s work in the north east.
