We are in London.
The time is 1722.
We are at the 18th Century equivalent of a writer’s festival. A mature man in full wig sits at a high desk.
He is Daniel Defoe.
This celebrated writer has just published his latest work,
'Journal of the Plague Year'.
An interactive show,
Defoe will invite his audience to paint parallels of life during the Great Plague of 1665
and the one that we can all relate to-now.
Text from 'A Journal of the Plague Year' by Daniel Defoe
Conceived & dramaturgy by RAPt
Directed by Alicia Benn-Lawler & Marc Lawrence
Performed by Phil Roberts & Shannon Woollard
