About this experience
Step out of the sanitized history books and into the mud, blood, and brilliance of Elizabethan London. On this immersive journey through the Bankside Liberties, you will discover a lawless entertainment district where the greatest literature in the English language was born right next door to notorious prisons, brutal blood sports, and church-sanctioned brothels. Uncover the shocking duality of a world where genius and degradation walked hand in hand.
