WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Desolation and despair. This is a warts and all expose charting the arrival of the first juniper berry. Along the way you will encounter some of the characters made famous by Hogarth’s illustrations ‘Gin Lane’. Join actors and musicians in this immersive tour of ruined characters.
Expect to visit the haunts of the poorest and the richest, while indulging in as much 18th-century gin as you like to warm the spirits. Dr Matthew Green is your host, and a very entertaining one too, as you meander through Covent Garden and Holborn soaking up stories of the human cost of Mother’s Ruin.
Gin shacks to gin palaces, all locations soaked in the stuff of heartbreak and despair due to uncontrolled production and sale of cheap gin. One for the road?
