A time and dimension-travelling imaginary history/future tour for an ancient house.

Texts, images and performances commissioned by The Arts Development Company for Dorchester’s Roman Town House, run by Dorset Museum. Visitors get on the imaginary property ladder with “viewings” of houses from the past, parallel, and future of a site that has already been inhabited for nearly two thousand years. A spin-off from The Portland Office for Imaginary History which has been running nearby for six years now!

Tourist information signs pointing left towards Dinosaurs, Teddy Bears, and Terracotta Warriors, and right towards Tutankamun (sic) and Romans. Lower down on the pole is a red and white striped sign with a manicule pointing left and downwards at BARBARIANS.
