Can a war of words really end in death?

The Clink

By Stephen Jeffreys
Directed by Gregory Thompson

Elizabethan verse bangs into modern slang to conjure up an age of turbulent change in Jeffreys' The Clink. Slum-dwellers, plotting aristocrats and 'the Clink' - South London's infamous jail - provide a backdrop for a tale of fools. Lucius wants to be more adventurous than his comedy double-act with Thomas allows. His first solo gig - touting aggressive comedy - is a disaster. Set up, banged up, stitched up, he's about to find out just how much England has changed.

This production contains scenes of an adult nature. Presented by Birmingham School of Acting in association with Nick Hern Books.
