Picture
First performed at the Museum of London this 45 minute solo performance looks at the infamous life of thief and jail breaker Jack Sheppard.

Notorious as the only man to escape from the inescapable Newgate Jail three times, this performance incorporates traditional songs to reveal his life, from his early small thefts to his battle with Jonathan Wilde, the thief-taker, his friendship with Daniel Defoe  and his tragic death on the gallows as a national hero.
 
Part drama part pantomime the Life and Times of Jack Sheppard offers an exciting insight into the story of one of the 18th century’s most notorious characters.
