As the visit of Their Royal Highness?s, The Earl and Countess of Wessex on March 3rd approaches, anticipation is also high for other activities being planned in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Mr. Randolph Hamilton, Manager of Special Projects said the re-enactments will be highly dramatic, intense and realistic, and will undoubtedly capture the attention of patrons who will be taken on a roller coaster of emotions laced with historical pride.
He added that some aspects of the re-enactment would require the participation of locals in the actual staging of the event. Members of the St.Kitts?Nevis Defense Force are being trained to participate. One particular re-enactment will feature the role and triumph of slaves at that time, in skirmishes, as they sought to maintain some level of identity.
?The re-enactment of the Battle of St. Kitts between the British and French in 1782 is the most rewarding experience available for eight dollars.? He emphasized that his committee is targeting schools and the general public for attendance at these events. Along with the twice-daily performances on March 29-30th, there will also be additional activities related to that period.
Other planned re-enactments are the marriage of Lord Nelson and Fannie Nisbett in Nevis as well as another, soon to be announced re-enactment at Government House in St. Kitts.
