VERDMONT - THE UNTOLD STORY by the Bermuda National Trust

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Recognising the need to produce inclusive programming, the Bermuda National Trust wishes to interpret this historic house through the eyes of its former occupants, shifting the focus from architectural to human heritage.  enlisting the skills of Bermudian storytellers, we aim to tell inclusive stories through a series of dramatic performances.  The 300 year history provides great scope to use the people of Verdmont to present the diversity of responses to the social, economic and political forces over time that have shaped our island while demonstrating how both black and white, enslaved and free, lived and worked together at this site.  These dramatic performances promise to enlighten and challenge the audience while encouraging an appreciation of our diversity and the history that connects us.  Verdmont was built c1710 and opened as a museum in 1957.
