We’d like to tell you about our next project which is to produce some short films about
Licoricia and her community, to help us inform and inspire the public and school children.
We have been advised that the best way nowadays to spread our messages is to invest in
Youtube-style videos, as people respond well to short visual clips.
To that end we are fundraising to create two short videos using Tracy-Ann Oberman, the
well-known Jewish actress from Coronation Street. Tracy-Ann was recently acclaimed for
her portrayal of Shylock in the Merchant of Venice.
The idea is that we create 6-8 minutes of short chunks of material that we can use for our
primary and secondary lessons, our website, as a link from our information board by the
statue, and for use by others such as Winchester’s Great Hall, Tourist Information Office, the
Holocaust Educational Trust or the University of Winchester.
Tracy-Ann will probably be dressed in period costume and the videos will either be filmed in
Winchester at an appropriate Norman venue such as the Great Hall, or in London. The
production company will help us produce scripts, which will be sensitively tailored to deal
with the subject.
We know that Tracy-Ann will be sensitive to the needs and nuances of our project, which she
supports, and will help us make this another work of art.
Please do help us in this exciting new venture.
