Local History talk: Tuesday 22 September 8pm at Christ's Chapel of God's Gift, Dulwich Village
Did Edward Alleyn introduce dynamic ticket pricing at the Fortune Theatre? Why did he marry 20-year-old Constance Donne, 5 months after the death of Joan Woodward, his wife of 31 years? How did he recite a public speech of welcome to new sovereign James I without a microphone? The answers to these and much else will be related by Local History Group member Brian Green who has made a close study of this extraordinary man, at a talk at Christ’s Chapel of Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift at Dulwich, on the spot where Alleyn was buried 400 years ago. Admission free, no need to book. All welcome. In person talk
