Pete Smith delivers a talk at Shoe Lane Library on Friday 18 September 2026, tracing the surviving remnants of Shakespeare’s London through the modern City landscape. The one-hour session begins at 1pm and examines the physical and historical traces of the playwright’s life and work, from the site of the Curtain Theatre to the alleyways that once echoed with his verse. Smith, a London guide, draws on archival records and contemporary geography to reconstruct the world that shaped the plays. The event is free to attend, with no booking required, and offers a quiet, learned reflection on how the city still carries the weight of its theatrical past.
