Speeches of Note: Shaun Usher in collaboration with Alleyn's Drama

We are delighted to announce an evening of historic speeches compiled by Shaun Usher and dramatised by pupils in Alleyn’s Drama Department.

In Speeches of Note you’ll discover speeches that altered the course of history, like Nelson Mandela’s on the day he became South Africa’s first black President. You’ll find gloriously unexpected speeches as Kermit the Frog takes to the podium, and celebrate lives well-lived, including Tilda Swinton’s tribute to ‘every alien’s favourite cousin’, David Bowie.

Shaun Usher is the writer and sole custodian of the popular blogs lettersofnote.com, listsofnote.com and speechesofnote.com. He is the author of Letters of Note; Lists of Note and More Letters of Note.
