David Starkey Sets Up a Second Visit in the New Year

Posted on 06 September 2016

Following the success of his first visit in May of 2016, we are delighted to announce that David Starkey will return to the PLAYHOUSE on Sunday the 29th of January 2017 with his talk, 'Magna Carta'.

The UK’s leading constitutional historian, known for his forthright views, talks about the 13th century agreement that, imperfect though it was, and radically modified in its first ten years, limited for the first time the power of the monarch by stating the basic rights, privileges, and liberties of leading citizens and clergy.

There are few more stimulating thinkers, and few who understand better the way the most powerful have thought throughout our history. His assessment of the situation then, and how our constitution stands today exactly 800 years later, will amaze and challenge you.

Tickets will go on sale online at www.playhousewhitleybay.co.uk, via the booking hotline 0844 248 1588* and venue Box Office at 10 am on Friday 9th September.

*Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company’s access charge.
