Waiting for Samuel with Dave Ayre's Baroque Ensemble

Stroud

Dates: Saturday 22nd November 2025

Venue: Lansdown Hall & Gallery

Brandywine Theatre Company presents: Waiting for Samuel with Dave Ayre's Baroque Ensemble

Written and directed by Christopher Denys

 

Elizabeth Pepys knows all about her diary-keeping husband’s dissolute doings in the fleshpots, theatres and coffee houses of Restoration London for, while it took scholars many years to decipher the system of shorthand in which Samuel wrote his famous diaries, Elizabeth mastered the code from the beginning and has only to read last night’s entry to find out what the ‘Dirty Little Devil’ was up to yesterday.

Luckily, Elizabeth has a sense of humour and, in any case, she has rather too many secrets of her own which she is quite happy to reveal to us – in confidence - though she has far more sense than to ever write them down.

This one hour one-woman show is followed by an evening of music from Dave Ayre's Baroque Ensemble - join this brilliant ensemble and Mrs Pepys to sing some rounds with music from the era that ranges from hauntingly beautiful to exciting and raucous!
