Love has many aspects, and William Shakespeare probes the nature of love in his works. It may be 'the marriage of true minds', or grief at the loss of a child. Again it may be the love embodied in true friendship, or that expressed in mercy or compassion.
This tour takes you to sites in the City of London which evoke Shakespeare's thoughts and images with site-appropriate readings. We join him as he explores the nature of love - and its predatory counterpart, lust.
Meet me outside the entrance to St Giles, Cripplegate (at the Barbican Centre; near to Barbican and St Paul's stations) - details here: https://www.stgileschurch.com/contact
