Learning on ScreenShakespeare’s Local - Six Centuries of History Seen Through One Extraordinary Pub: Episode 3
- Synopsis
- Radio series. Tony Robinson reads Pete Brown’s history of British pubs as seen through the story of one London inn, the George in Southwark, said to be the one-time local of Chaucer, Dickens and Shakespeare. In this episode Shakespeare’s inn-yard theatres take off in Southwark’s taverns, against stiff competition from the far less lofty pursuits of bear-baiting and cockfighting.
