Histories of the Unexpected

To whom it May Concern,

I'm helping to promote the Histories of the Unexpected show, which is coming to Mamhead Village Hall on 8 February 2020, and I thought that some of your members might be interested in attending.

The Histories of the Unexpected team is comprised of TV historian and adventurer Dr Sam Willis and University of Plymouth Professor of Early Modern History James Daybell, and their purpose is simple: to show that everything - even the most unexpected of subjects - has a history and that these histories link together in unexpected ways. Thus, they aim to bring great research and new approaches to history to audiences around the country and across the globe. They've been running a podcast for several years, covering topics as diverse as cricket and executions, and have published five books under the Histories name. These have been converted into a tour, which has been selling out at the likes of the BBC History Weekends. You can find out more about the show, the team, and their work, as well as listen to their podcasts at www.historiesoftheunexpected.com.

If you are interested in the show, or would like more information, please let me know. If you are interested in the show, but are unable to get to Mamhead Village Hall, the team have a number of other performances planned for your area, the dates for which are listed here: https://historiesoftheunexpected.com/tour/.
