Ian Osterloh will tell us why, by 1890, Canterbury seemed to have forgotten Christopher (Kit) Marlowe. So, why was a statue (Kitty) erected in his memory in 1891 and who were the characters involved? We’ll follow the story of Kit and the much-travelled and maligned Kitty, from 1890 to today, and contrast Kitty with other controversial sculptures. Admission: EKNTA members £4.00, non-members £5.00
