Tudor and Stuart London was the home of real-life rogues as colourful as any in Shakespeare’s plays. One of the most memorable of these underworld characters was Mary Frith, also known as Moll Cutpurse, who flouted convention at every turn. Far from being a weak and timid woman, who stayed at home taking care of children, as the ideals of the age demanded, she took to the streets and stage, making a spectacle of herself that earned both official condemnation and not a little public admiration.

“Sun Jester provides educational tours on a range of subjects including prehistory, poison, and princesses. Even to provide talks on one subject to such a significantly high standard would be incredible, but it seems Sun Jester can do talks on anything! Graham’s talk was brilliantly prepared, well-supplemented with images, and he seems to have a real passion for the subject which made the talk even more exciting.”
