Play :: Inside London’s infamous Newgate Prison, 1725; a corrupt, loveless world where anything can be bought, even freedom, but at what price? Its inmates ­ the notorious Jonathan Wild, London’s first organised crime lord, aristocrats, a young poet and Laetitia, the sensual but brutalised gaoler’s daughter ­ all dance to this damning drum beat.
