About this Event

This illustrated talk by London Historian, Blue Badge Tour Guide and Local Radio Broadcaster Diane Burstein treats you to historical vignettes and anecdotes about some of our famous theatres. Discover how theatre developed from the Elizabethan playhouses of Bankside and Shoreditch, through the rise of restoration drama in Covent Garden to Shaftesbury Avenue’s Edwardian and Victorian theatres. Bringing things up to date we’ll discover the birth of the Fringe and the current vogue for site specific theatre in unusual venues.

The illustrated talk will include anecdotes about theatrical personalities, superstitions and traditions.

Pair the talk with a £25 two course Sunday Roast deal.

Available before the talk from 1pm & after the talk from 4.30pm.
