Speaker: Julian Bowsher (MOLA archaeologist and Shakespeare expert)
This walk will start at the Stage on Hewett Street, then on to St Leonard’s church, the ancient parish centre from where we can survey the growth of the settlement, situated only a few minutes’ walk from the City. We then meander southwards visiting the sites of the two major playhouses, the Theatre and the Curtain, as well as the streets, homes taverns and less savoury
“entertainments” frequented by the leading playwrights and actors of the day.
This is a Shakespeare 400 event as part of The Stage Shoreditch Community Archaeology Programme.
