The walk will start at the site of the Curtain Playhouse and will be a tour based around the crime and general roguishness associated with the Curtain, its players and the Shoreditch theatrical scene. The talk will include a look at the rogues and villains themselves, people like Ben Jonson and Gabriel Spencer, Richard Tarleton, Christopher Marlowe and others. He will also consider the preachers speaking against the theatres and the relationship between the Doctor/Magician Simon Forman and the families of the actors at the Curtain Theatre.

This is a Shakespeare 400 event as part of The Stage Shoreditch Community Archaeology Programme.
