Critics Circle Theatre Award winner James Fritz' drama about the Cleveland Street scandal.
In July 1889, Police Constable Luke Hanks suspects Charles Thomas Swinscow - a fifteen-year-old telegraph boy - of theft after he is found to be in possession of several weeks of wages. While being questioned, Charles admits that he earned the money working as a prostitute for a man named Charles Hammond, who operated a male brothel at 19 Cleveland Street.
This retelling of the scandal that shook England tells the story of the staff & clientele at the Cleveland Street brothel, and the government's hand in covering up the scandal to protect its prominent patrons.
