Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 19 Jun 19 - T1880760638

David Benson - Cato Street 1820

Work:: David Benson (S01141216830)

Production:: Cato Street 1820 (T1880760638)

Benson shares his fascination with the infamous plot to murder Lord Liverpool's entire cabinet and the grisly aftermath on the gallows at Newgate. Drawing on verbatim accounts, hear how outrage at the 1819 Peterloo Massacre led five men into a deadly trap. Gruesome and disturbing at times, the tale has uncanny resonance today, as Benson explores, in this highly original entertainment.
