Shakespeare's Shoreditch

WALK on Tuesday 16 October 2012, 7pm

The Hackney Society Chair reprises the walk that was originally conceived for the National Youth Theatre in 2004; this time with a salacious twist for adult audiences.  Shoreditch was home to two theatres where Shakespeare and Burbage played. Only recently, in March 2009, the site of The Theatre (built in 1576) was found in the 'suburbs of sin'. Sex, death, fighting, duels, theatre and drink. Who needs 'Eastenders'? Oh, and transvestism thrown in for good measure.
