The Curiosity Cabaret: The Science & History Of Voice In The 19th Century
Imagine an era when surgery is performed without anaesthesia, when aseptic technique and antibiotics do not exist. Imagine a time when doctors still cling to their superstitions and medicine is much more art than science.
Join us as we step into The Curiosity Cabaret...
The Curiosity Cabaret will horrify and thrill you in the world's first ever history of medicine cabaret, stunningly set in Britain's oldest surviving operating theatre, dating from 1822. The first in the series, The Science and History of Voice in the 19th Century, features some of London's best cabaret performers combined with an eye-opening lecture from Dr Anna Maerker, senior lecturer at King's College London.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
