IN-PERSON EVENT
See the real life story behind the play Meat by James McDermott. Meat is a historical drama that explores identity, desire and sexuality in Norfolk. The play tells the little-known true story of Robert Carleton, a 17th-century tailor, and his secret relationship with his apprentice, Jon Lincoln. Their fragile world begins to unravel when Jon’s fiancée, Mary, comes to dinner, bringing hidden truths, tensions and loyalties to the surface. Through powerful storytelling and poetic language, Meat reimagines Carleton’s experience with compassion and humanity.
The evening will include a performance of the play, a question and answer session and a chance to view some of the documents used in the research.
