About this Event

430 years ago, the young William Shakespeare left his wife and children in Stratford to start a new life in London. Rising from obscurity to superstar, he cut a swath through London society, attracting admirers, lawsuits and the odd begging letter. As a young actor, he lived in rented accommodation and got into trouble for not paying his taxes. By the end of his life, he owned property in fashionable Blackfriars. Starting near St Paul’s Cathedral, we will visit the places he lived and worked, taking in some of the most beautiful sites in London. Along the way we will visit the sites of two of Shakespeare's London homes, Stationers' Hall where the earliest printed copies of Shakespeare's works were registered, the site where kidnapped boys were forced to perform by unscrupulous playhouse managers, the magnificent dining hall where Shakespeare & Co performed before an audience of lawyers and law students and the Globe Theatre.

I make no charge for admission to this event. Instead, I invite participants to make a donation to World Jewish Relief's Ukraine crisis appeal.

The video clip is from the virtual version of the tour - but this tour is the real deal out on the streets.
