We have begun excavations of The Boar’s Head Playhouse in Whitechapel, London, in advance of construction of new student housing by Unite Students - the UK’s largest student accommodation provider. The location of the 16th century playhouse is known from historical records and it is referenced in one of the earliest accounts of theatre in London, but it is hoped that excavation of the site will better understanding of this often-overlooked theatrical site.
The excavation is opening to the public, who are invited to join pre-bookable tours on Saturday the 5 October 2019. More information and details on how to book can be found here.
