PAGE OF PLYMOUTH – Ben Jonson & Thomas Dekker's lost play
IN CONJUNCTION WITH LITERATURE WORKS
An introduction to ‘Page of Plymouth’, an exciting new project launching in Plymouth, centred on the now lost domestic tragedy of the same name by Ben Jonson and Thomas Dekker, and looking at theatre, popular culture and narratives of ordinary lives in Plymouth then and now.
The play was written for The Rose in the summer of 1599 and performed there that autumn. It tells the story of a notorious murder that took place in Plymouth in 1591, when George Page (or ‘Padge’), a goldsmith, was murdered by his young wife Ulalia and her lover George Strangwidge.
This is the first of a series of five online Rose talks on Page of Plymouth, and will be presented by Producer and Dramaturg, David Prescott, alongside CEO of Literature Works, Helen Chaloner.
