The Britannia Panopticon Music Hall, Roll up, roll up and join Paranormal Scotland Ltd as we immerse ourselves in the world of entertainment and show business at the world-famous Britannia Panopticon music hall. Situated on Glasgow’s historic Trongate, this music hall sprang to life in 1857 during a period of rapid population growth and overcrowding in the city, creating a demand for entertainment venues. Music halls were a popular form of entertainment among the working classes during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Initially, these venues were back rooms behind pubs, but the Britannia Panopticon is unique as it is located on the floor above! It could accommodate over 1500 visitors, who were eager to be entertained and let off steam while watching a variety of acts, including singers, dancers, comedians, acrobats, animal acts, and novelty acts. The audiences back then were not as forgiving as they are today. If your act was not enjoyed then you ran the risk of having a myriad of items launched at you including rotten fruit and veg, fish heads and guts, nuts and bolts from the nearby shipyards and even being urinated on from the gallery above. The Britannia Panopticon assisted in launching the careers of many performers, one of the most recognisable is Stan laurel of laurel and hardy. In the year 1906, A.E. Pickard, an eccentric showman, expanded the entertainment offerings at his establishment to include a carnival, freak show, waxworks, and a zoo. Visitors were able to catch a glimpse of the Himalayan Bear in the basement or the Tattooed Lady in the attic. The Britannia Panopticon stands today as a testament to those bygone days of working-class entertainment. Today, the Britannia Ponopticon is still bustling with a variety of performances entertaining audiences. Although it is not only the living that are among the audience. The Britannia Panopticon is as active with paranormal activity as it is with entertainment acts. The ghostly spectral figure of a man has been seen on the balcony watching the acts perform, especially the acts that involve young pretty women. There is even a resident chimpanzee called Solomon that enjoys picking the pockets of unsuspecting visitors. Phantom music has been heard and disembodied footsteps heard traversing the floorboards throughout. The word panopticon means to see all so come with Paranormal Scotland Ltd as we take our curtain call to see all that the Britannia Panoptican has to offer from beyond the veil.

This is a rare opportunity to see Miss Maureen Beattie, one of Scotlands foremost performers, in a rehearsed reading of the one woman play, Acting Up - or Tales From a Troublesome Trouper by Frederic Mohr . It is 1755. The scene is set in a wretched hovel in London. The notorious Charlotte Charke, once a celebrated actress, has fallen on hard times, and is desperate to interest speculators in buying the copyright to her new novel. She invites them to a private auction and solicits bids whilst revealing secrets from her own life in a captivating and often comedic chronicle. Charlotte Charke was a real person of infinite interest. Her father, Colley Cibber, was the leading British actor of his age. He was also a playwright and Poet Laureate. Charlotte herself managed some success and fame in the establishment theatre of her father but gave way to spells in the fringe theatre of her day, moving swiftly from tour de force to forced to tour as her career and life of privilege descended into destitution. She took to wearing male clothing and became publicly known as Charles Brown. She unsuccessfully tried various jobs associated with men such as valet, sausage maker, farmer, and tavern owner. Eventually, under her own name Mrs Charlotte Charke, she found success as a novelist and memoirist until her death in 1760. Her indomitable spirit is remembered here in Frederic Mohrs one woman play which paints an enthralling picture of 18th Century British Theatre and the wider society of the time, with a powerful and timeless tale of survival at its core. But beware. This piece pulls no punches and, as Charlotte herself attests, it is a moral tale, good wholesome stuff, but covered over with more piquant sauce than a Frenchmans banquet; warm and pungent as a doxys bush. The trustees of The Friends of Britannia Panopticon are exceedingly grateful to Miss Beattie for re-creating the role, gratis, in order to help raise funds for the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall. Representative Review "Must not be missed It is stunning Maureen Beattie positively dazzles in this cracker of a one-woman show which is a powerful affirmation of the strength of the word, especially when given live representation by a talented, committed performer Beattie positively revels in Mohr's beautifully turned script The atmosphere generated becomes electric, as we witness one of Scotland's finest actors working at her best, getting her teeth into a meaty role." (The Scotsman)
