Talk: The Life & Times of the Music Hall and Marie Lloyd

In the late Victorian Age, Music Halls were popular throughout Britain and were where the East End of London found its cultural voice.

Join us for this illustrated talk by Danny Wells, which celebrates the rambunctious nature of this form of entertainment, with characters such as Champagne Charlie, Little Tich, the coster comedian Gus Ellen, George Robey - the ‘Prime Minister of Mirth’ and Vesta Tilley.

It ends with the much-loved Marie Lloyd, both the ‘Queen of the Music Hall’ and of the double entendre. ‘Our Marie’ had a turbulent life both on and off the stage.
