What To Expect

Shakespeare In The City Walk

This is the starting point for the 'Shakespeare in the City Walk'. Meet me outside Blackfriars UNDERGROUND Station. Blackfriars underground station is on the Circle & District Lines. (Be careful - do NOT go South of the river to Blackfriars overground station). There is only one exit so you won't miss me. I will be standing metres away from that underground station exit, with a sign on my rucksack featuring Shakespeare's face.

2 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

A Shakespeare statue most people miss. Shakespeare's popularity. Why you should ignore the conspiracy theories.

5 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

St. Paul's Cathedral

To the magnificent St Pauls Cathedral and a breathtaking revelation about it (although we don't go inside). Shakespeare's best ever seller, plus his sonnets and a reasonable interpretation of his sexuality. Declan's favourite words by anyone EVER (clue: it's only 4 words and they are by William Shakespeare. And they are cosmic).

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

St. Giles Cripplegate

Finally, at a church he knew, the two best known actors of his age, and the sad case of his brother Edmund.
Declan finishes with another complete and hauntingly beautiful speech from Shakespeare's last play, in which Shakespeare gets cosmic again. The speech is perfect because it is about saying goodbye...
