Shakespeare in Hackney; 'tis a mad world at Hoxton

Shakespeare in Hackney; 'tis a mad world at Hoxton Thursday 23rd May 2013, Doors 7:30pm Tickets: £6/ £4 Concession This evening will feature a one-man performance by Jack Klaff of a long poem from 1609, entitled Pimlyco; ‘tis a mad world at Hoxton, and a talk and discussion of its importance led by Dr. Peter Howell. Hahn and Howell’s dramatic interpretation of the poem brings out the cultural importance of Hoxton to Shakespearean London. Recent research suggests, in fact, that the poem Pimlyco is a source for The Tempest, and Dr. Howell’s talk will develop the ways in which Hoxton can be considered as having inspired Caliban’s famous island in that play.
