Meet Samuel Johnson - poet, essayist, compiler of the first English dictionary. This evening of anecdotes and witty conversation brings to life one of the most colourful figures of the eighteenth century: irritable, generous, depressive yet hilarious. And meet characters from his life, from biographer James Boswell and painter Joshua Reynolds, to the society hostess who was Johnson's final, unrequited, love. Compiled by Russell Barr, Ian Redford and Max Stafford-Clark| 28 Feb 11 | Stephen Joseph Theatre Scarborough, North Yorkshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
