George Eliot's Radicals

At Dash Arts, we are in the process of developing our brand new
production The Great Middlemarch Mystery, a site-specific
production in Coventry based on writer George Eliot’s classic
Middlemarch, one of the greatest novels written in the English
language.


In this episode we return to our February Dash Café on George
Eliot, hosted at Warwick Arts Centre by Artistic Director
Josephine Burton with collaborator Professor Ruth Livesey and
guests Martina Hall, producer of 2019 BBC Arena documentary
Everything Is Connected – George Eliot’s Life, artist Redell
Olsen, and writer Anna Lawrence, with an update from Josephine
and Ruth on how our production was born and how it’s progressed
since this event.


We explore what happened when Europe and Middle England’s
philosophies and ideas met, how Eliot brought this to life in her
novels, and why her radical work is still important today.
