Elizabeth Pepys in Greenwich show

Next Tuesday, 20th September 2005, there’s a solo play in Greenwich, in which actress Siobhan Nicholas plays the part of Elizabeth Pepys. From the blurb:

Samuel Pepys? …his diary! …his world!! …his women!!! How do you think his wife felt! What was it like being married to a serial sex addict! In this hour-long solo show, Elizabeth shares with us her life as the wife of Samuel Pepys: love, commitment, excitement — the joys and trials of their household, the gossip of the Court, the horrors of the Great Plague, the flames of the Fire of London and finally her raging trauma when, in her own house, she witnesses her husband

The plays Pepys has seen

As most readers are aware, I add new entries to the Encyclopedia section as we progress through the diary, as Pepys meets new people, visits new places, etc. Until now I haven’t included pages for all the plays he’s seen, but this was becoming an increasingly obvious omission. So I’ve created pages for all the plays Pepys has seen or mentioned so far and will keep it up to date like everything else.

So, if you have the urge to do a spot of research there are 54 plays there that you can have a go at annotating: histories, synopses, links to scripts…
