Product Description
Shad Thames, Broken Wharf is a play of voices that spans centuries of changes across the Docklands, allowing past ghosts to be heard above the white noise of the polemical present.
Set in a pub that has stood on the site since the sixteenth century, we eavesdrop on a conversation between three characters - Echo, a middle-aged woman who has lived her life in the area; Blaise, a northerner who finds resonances with the more familiar docks at Liverpool; and the gregarious landlord, a Londoner with `the knowledge'. Breaking into the dialogue, The Restructure is a sinister, all-knowing Public Service Announcement with `advice' to share with anyone who'll listen...
Shad Thames, Broken Wharf is published as a boxed, limited edition mini-book. Each copy is signed, numbered and hand-printed, and contains a unique object (or objects) mudlarked from the shore of the Thames.

London memorabilia.,
By Kevin Barry (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shad Thames, Broken Wharf (Paperback)
I am very interested in London and it's social history, so buy lots of literature, but to be honest I found this a bit underwhelming.
