‘Page of Plymouth’, Ben Jonson’s lost play, is a true crime tale that is also the oldest known piece of literature set in the city. It follows the story of Eulalia Page, and her plot to murder the wealthy Plymouth merchant, Master Page. It’s a tale of gender inequality, unequal access to justice, and ordinary lives in Plymouth.
The ‘Page of Plymouth’ project was devised by Literature Works and David Prescott and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It's being delivered in partnership with The Box, Barbican Theatre, Arts University Plymouth, Kiss and Bite and The Rose Playhouse.
