Eating and Drinking in Shakespeare's Theatreland

Speaker: Jacqui Pearce (MOLA finds specialist)

This talk aims to explore the wider entertainment scene that was inextricably linked with the theatre in Shakespeare’s time, using the latest evidence from archaeologically excavated sites to throw light on the many and varied aspects of theatre-going that Elizabethan and Jacobean Londoners would have enjoyed, from smoking and drinking ale to eating bar snacks.
This is a Shakespeare 400 event as part of The Stage Shoreditch Community Archaeology Programme.
