Shakespeare's Local - Radio Adaptation

5 X 15 minute episodes.

The George in Southwark on the south bank of the Thames - near Borough Market - is London's only remaining coaching inn; it now belongs to The National Trust, but continues to operate as a pub.

It is or may have been the inn from which Chaucer's travellers in The Canterbury Tales left, though there is much legend and embroidery of its history. This looks at 5 different periods in its history.
