Tales of Drake
Tales of Drake, by Nick Wilkes
A drink, a fight and tales through the night of piracy, slavery and the world encompassed
1604, and the Pelican Tavern stands at the edge of the Thames near Execution Dock.
Here, a former sailor serves a last quart of ale to those found guilty of piracy, before they hang at the scaffold from a shortened rope.
Whilst he waits, he recounts his travels and tales of time spent at sea serving under Sir Francis Drake; the Circumnavigation, the massacre at Rathlin Island, his own questionable career on the seas and his dog.
Written and performed by actor and playwright Nick Wilkes thirteen generations distant from Sir Francis Drake himself.
A Malvernbard production in association with GSP
Directed by Jon Legg
