Magic Lantern performance by Joss & David

It is 10 years since Kent MOMI curators David and Joss gave up their international career as itinerant magic lanternists and became respectable museum curators.

But they have been tempted out of retirement in support of Deal Festival -- and for love of the lantern. The performance will include many lantern-slide MOVING IMAGES (yes, there was movement on screen long before the movies), enforced audience participation (!), lots of sea-going and sea-shore activity, and recitation (by Joss) of the tear-jerking ballad of Crazy Jane, by the Victorian master of that suspect form, George R. Sims.
