Celebrating the life, work and legacy of George Groves, Oscar winning sound engineer and son of Liverpool. The Quiet Little Englishman is the little known true story of how George followed his heart to the USA where he developed the technology that gave us talking movies. George's career spanned decades, he recorded the first spoken words for the talkies in The Jazz Singer, through to the soundtrack for the film of the Woodstock Festival in '69. His work changed the cinematic experience forever! Appropriately set in The Park Palace, a recovered cinema, Zho Visual Theatre have created a living film to tell Georges story through a promenade style show filling the spaces with soundscapes, film and theatre. Transportation to the venue runs from The Suitcases on Hope St., every 15 minutes from 6.45pm for 1.00. The sound installation, Making the Invisible Visible and the award winning documentary drama about The Palace of Dreams, Bridging The Imagination, will be available for public viewing from 7.00pm each evening and throughout the Liverpool Biennial
