High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Reading Abbey is a large, ruined abbey in the centre of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. It was founded by Henry I in 1121 "for the salvation of my soul, and the souls of King William, my father, and of King William, my brother, and Queen Maud, my wife, and all my ancestors and successors". King Henry I is buried in the abbey grounds. The ruins of Reading Abbey have a history of live performance. From early impromputu artist-led events, the site has established a history of open air theatre. In about 1990, the food art and performance collective 'La Grande Bouche' organised a cabaret under marquee in the ruins. The evening offered music and performance acts combined with food, much of which cooked by contributing performers. This built upon a number of grassroots Reading arts initiatives of the period, such as the Rising Sun Institute (later Rising Sun Arts Centre).
