Canonbury Society members visited the new site of the  Tower Theatre Company.

VISIT TO THE NEW SITE OF THE TOWER THEATRE COMPANY

Tuesday 20 August 2010

Members of the Canonbury Society 'shared the stage with Shakespeare'  on 20 July during a visit to the excavation site of  'The Theatre', the first purpose-built theatre in London where the Bard premiered 'Romeo and Juliet' and other productions.  As special guests of The Tower Theatre Company, members were introduced to the site by a senior archeologist at the Museum of London  and entertained with excerpts from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets by talented actors.  A sparkling reception followed. The Canonbury Society is proud to support The Tower Theatre Company -- our former neighbours at Canonbury Tower -- in building a new playhouse on the site of 'The Theatre' that will honour the past and celebrate the future.
