VICTORIAN HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION & STREET THEATRE

See and meet the people who were living by whatever means they could, the opportunist thieves, medicine men, coster girls, drunks and madams to name but a few - all of a dishonest nature.

These type of characters were in the majority but their lives are never really seen through re-enactment or street theatre.

Witness bare knuckle fights, games of chance and many other period correct scenarios, then relish the sight of the 'Peelers' who try to impart law over the disorder.

Victorian Entertainers

Talk and interact with the rapscallions of the day, but beware of the pick pockets and scoundrels who will take your last penny and then ask for more.

We choose to bring these people and their lives to the fore through our passionate interest in historical interpretation and interaction with the public.

With over 150 years of combined historical re enacting The Seven Dials Rapscallions go to extraordinary lengths to achieve a high standard of authenticity which makes us stand out against other Victorian portrayals you may see.
