Severs died in 1999 aged 51 and the house has continued to be run as a museum. During lockdown, staff were astonished to discover about 200 cassette tapes stuffed in cupboards that feature Severs’ tours as well as his ideas and thoughts on people and sounds that he liked. It was odd to hear them, said Cruickshank. “The barbed comments, the accusations, the instructions, the keeping his audience in its place so they would listen to him … that is all in the tapes.” The tapes have been distilled down to create a new tour for visitors when it reopens on 29 July. An actor will conduct the tours. Severs will not be present, of course, but, in a way, he will, said Cruickshank. www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/jul/25/dennis-severs-house-recreates-his-eccentric-tours-based-on-found-tapes
