BEDLAM

Artists William Hogarth created a painting (and later an etching) of Bedlam, a institution for the mentally insane in 1735 in a series titled ‘A Rakes Progress’.
In the first scene the rake (a weak-willed hedonist) comes into some money.
He spends it all on drink, debauchery and dissolute pursuits. Finally his wretched life drives him mad and the moral of the tale is that he ends up as a lunatic.

Hogarth later created ‘Gin Lane’ showing shocking scenes of infanticide, starvation, madness, decay and suicide, it is thought that The Hospital Club sits at the foot of where Gin Lane once stood.

For one night only Eat Your Heart Out team up with The Hospital Club present a promenade performance taking inspiration from the building and its geographical past, present and future to create BEDLAM.

Guided tours, Working Mens Clubs and VERY important meetings starring Scottee, Miss Annabel Sings, Myra Dubois, Nando Messias & Masumi Tipsy.
