DAVID OLUSOGA
A GUN THROUGH TIME 

Have you ever considered how a single weapon could change the course of history? What stories lie behind the guns that shaped empires, wars, and even criminal underworlds? How did these firearms influence not just battles, but entire societies?
 
Known for his acclaimed documentaries Black and British: A Forgotten History and A House Through Time, David Olusoga offers remarkable storytelling in this powerful, unexpected and enlightening social narrative, where he uncovers the story of three firearms that changed the world and the lives of our ancestors, the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun, the Maxim gun, and the Lee Enfield rifle.
 
See these legendary firearms up close on stage and delve into their mind-bending hidden social histories. You’ll also have the chance ask David your own questions about any historical topic.
