Speaker Simon Waterfield in character as George Loveless
Actor and speaker Simon Waterfield assumes the character of one of the protagonists to bring alive great historical events as seen from an ordinary person’s point of view.
Let George Loveless, the ‘spokesman’ of the farm labourers who were transported to the Antipodes for trying to earn a fair wage, tell of their heart-breaking story and of their eventual peaceful and prosperous lives.
They were arrested on a trumped-up charge, suffered transportation, were freed and returned to Britain as heroes before happily returning to obscurity in a surprising place.
Their battles against their landlord and employer eventually included Parliament and the King!
