Gateways recently hosted a three day conference, ‘Pack Up Your Troubles: Performance Cultures in the First World War', on the Canterbury campus of the University of Kent. Approximately 70 people attended most or all of the conference. The programme was a varied mixture which featured 2 keynotes, 24 research papers spread over 8 panels and a performance of 3 wartime plays. We also ran a Directors’ Panel and another which looked at the work of HLF-funded performance projects.
