Putney Debates
Rebellion. King Charles defeated. What now? A reading based on extracts from the transcript of the 1647 Putney Debates, plus Q&A
Victorious rebels debate England’s future in St Mary’s Church, Putney, and consider concepts of democracy, the rule of law and a free society centuries ahead of their time. In 2026 what are the echoes from that spirit of 1647, what can we learn from it, and how can we apply it now?
Art, discussion and a reading based on extracts from the transcript of the 1647 Putney Debates. A momentous part of the heritage of Putney and Wandsworth, a global landmark in the history of democracy.
Join us for this free peformance in the very place where the 1647 debates were held.
Produced and directed by Nick Eisen with support from Wandsworth Arts.
