Programme 12

Programme Outline

Throughout history, people have enjoyed telling, reading or listening to stories. A story might be about unknown places, people and situations; but most stories also involve people, places or objects that are familiar, to assist the imagination. The same is true of a painting of a story such as the execution of Lady Jane Grey.
