River Thames freezes over Dr Will Tosh gives an exclusive on winter traditions in Shakespeare’s time
A few days before Christmas in the year 1607 the Thames froze hard. This had happened before, and older Londoners could remember skidding their way across the ice as they crossed from the city directly to Bankside, pleased to avoid the walk east to London Bridge. In the past, the late queen Elizabeth had even taken to the frozen river on her sled. One cold year was 1599, when Shakespeare’s theatre company the Lord Chamberlain’s Men dismantled their old playhouse in Shoreditch, moved the wooden frame over the Thames, and rebuilt it as the Globe in Southwark. The story goes that the actors hauled the timbers across the icy river in the dead of night. But although the Thames was ‘nigh frozen over’, the ice was thin: no-one ventured onto the river that year. The great freeze of 1607 – 8, by contrast, was colder and longer than anything anyone had experienced, and it initiated what would become an occasional winter institution in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century London: the frost fair. Entrepreneurial tradespeople set up stalls to cater to the crowds who thronged the ‘conglutinated frozen stream’, as the poet John Taylor described the wintry river. Londoners could buy drinks and snacks, and even slices of freshly roasted pork, cooked over coal fires kindled in the middle of the ice. Average temperatures were lower in the early modern period, and the narrow piers of old London Bridge slowed the current of the river and made it more liable to freeze. Every decade or so, a harsh winter would turn the ‘Thames’s streams to hard congealed flakes, / And pearled water drops to crystal cakes’ (John Taylor again), and the bustling city would expand onto the waterway. In 1621, which is the year represented in our diorama (built in 1912 by Thorp Model Makers), the fair included bakery stalls, ball

Pedestrians – five hundred of whom milled about at any one time – had to compete with dozens of horse-drawn coaches and caroches which crunched over the ice. The most extravagant fair in the seventeenth century was that of 1683-4. Traders of all sorts set up shops, publishers established presses to print special frost fair souvenir cards, and entertainers offered bull and bear baiting, puppet-plays and all manner of lewd ‘tippling’. It was, said the diarist John Evelyn, ‘a bacchanalian triumph, or carnival on the water’. Not everyone was happy. The watermen – scullers who operated the small boats (wherries) that ferried people over the river –
faced a collapse of their business. In 1621, the freeze lasted for eight weeks, and the wherries languished in their iced-over berths. Out-of-work watermen stood guard at the water-stairs, and demanded money from Londoners who wished to step onto the ice – terrain which the watermen still regarded as their property. Many people found the severe cold difficult. Fuel was expensive and in short supply, and such coal as was burnt produced a thick smog that blanketed the frozen city. Brewers, bakers and washerwomen struggled without a source of running water. Amid this hardship, the excitement of a frost fair was a welcome distraction for the chilly city.

Add rapeseed oil to the pan and place the partridge in on its side and leave for 2 minutes. Turn onto the other side and repeat for another 2 minutes.

For the dish 4 whole partridge 250g wild cabbage (curly kale is a good substitute, this is a difficult ingredient to find) picked and washed Red wine sauce Onion puree Game sausage roll Pre-heat the oven to 190o and get a pan on with water and bring to the boil. Place the sausage roll on a heavy flat tray and place in the pre heated oven and cook for 20 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
While the partridge is cooking, get your kale and cook in the boiling water for 4 minutes, drain and pour away the water. Using that pan, return the kale and add a 1 inch knob of butter and some salt and pepper, keep warm. By this time your partridge should be cooked, the game sausage roll should be ready. Warm your sauce and puree. Put a spoon of the puree on the right hand side of the plate, put a small amount of kale next to it. Carve the sausage roll into four and put a piece on each plate, serve the whole partridge next to it and pour over the red wine sauce.

Delights on the Globe Stage this Winter By Alice Watson
© Photography: Cesare de Giglio
For many of us, approaching December ignites the panic of last minute shopping trips, too many (or maybe not enough) mulled wine hangovers, and mentally and emotionally preparing oneself as to how THAT Turkey will fit in THAT oven. However, for the Learning Projects team, we are preparing for one of our flagship community projects, A Concert For Winter, my absolute favourite learning project. For those of you who are not aware of A Concert For Winter, it is one of our longest running educational projects, and has for the last 15 years proudly represented a plethora of groups from across Southwark, including schools, community groups, local businesses and civil services. Each group performs a song, dance or poem on the Globe stage as part of our Winter celebrations. This year’s theme is Sweet Thames, Run Softly, and will feature songs that celebrate the borough’s relationship with the Thames. The different strands of the concert will be woven into a beautiful narrative, delivered by the amazing storyteller Deborah Newbold. The reason why A Concert For Winter is such a wonderful and important project is simply because it invites people from across Southwark communities to take centre stage in one of their local theatres, which just so happens to be a world class theatre. On the Globe stage participants’ voices are heard, and they are visible on a platform which represents local as well as global communities. The joy of A Concert For Winter is that each performance, which must fit an annual theme, is chosen and arranged by the groups involved, giving the participants complete ownership of their performance. Their hard work is celebrated on the Globe stage, alongside some of the world’s top theatre professionals. Each group is supported in its own rehearsal studio by our wonderful Musical Director, Joseph Atkins, supported by Eleanor Rastall, who give guidance to
each groups weekly rehearsals in preparation for the final performance. A Concert For Winter not only represents every corner of the borough of Southwark, but is also an inter-generational learning project. This year participants range between 3 – 94 years old, and are treading the same stage which proudly represents a range of the communities that make up one of London’s most diverse boroughs. This year we will see our youngest and oldest groups collaborate together in a performance that will hopefully get the audience singing along with a cheerful smile. A Concert For Winter is funded by generous benefactors, which enables each group to participate in the project for free, and for audience members to watch the performance free of charge. Without the wonderful support we receive each year we would not be able to sustain one of our most rewarding projects, and celebrate and invite more people from across Southwark to take ownership of the Globe Theatre. I would like to conclude by quoting the lyrics of Globe Education’s ‘Globe Round’, taken from Shakespeare’s As You Like It, and beautifully composed by Joseph Atkins, which reads: ‘Then is there mirth in heaven When earthly things, made even, Atone together.’ This beautifully summarises the joyfulness of A Concert For Winter. The project invites everyone to recognise that amongst many things that might feel awry in the world today, within the ‘Wooden O’, everyone is there to support, and be recognised as equals together. I hope you can join us for this year’s A Concert For Winter, Sweet Thames, Run Softly, on Thursday 10 December at 1.00pm.

DRAMA IN A TEA CUP The Globe Shop is thrilled to have collaborated with Thread Drawn by Tobyboo to create an exclusive collection of Shakespeare-themed tea sets and glassware. Creator Tina Crawford shares the process and her ideas behind the products. As a designer and artist I work as closely as possible with the client to create unique pieces for museums and heritage gift shops using my free embroidery designs. I draw using the needle on a sewing machine as you would a pencil, with no sketching or prepping beforehand. It means that my illustrations are unique, the lines are often mistaken for pen lines when they are in fact loose threads. Inspired by four of Shakespeare’s most popular plays: Hamlet; A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet. I used quotes that I knew would look beautiful in embroidery and would work well on my tea sets. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the only design I had difficulty with as I really wanted to incorporate the character of Bottom into the embroidery but I couldn’t get him to look quite right. However, I’m over the moon that the final design incorporates insects as I think they work so well with the set. The tea cups make fantastic Christmas gifts individually, as a pair or as a whole set. The tea set consists of four tea cups and saucers and large tea pot, all of which are British made.
I have also created a beautiful glass ‘poison’ bottle, engraved with a skull and crossbones. Inspired by Romeo’s chalice of poison, this decanter can be used in much more fortunate circumstances with your friends. Tobyboo.co.uk

Pauline in The Knight of the Burning Pestle © Photography: Bronwen Sharp
‘My morning routine varies depending on my call time, but generally rehearsals run between 10.00am – 6.00pm. I love sleeping so if I can manage to hang on in bed until 8.30am I am delighted with myself. At the moment we are rehearsing at the Union Chapel, which isn’t too far of a walk for me. I don’t usually eat breakfast, as I never get hungry until about 11.30am at which point everyone can hear my tummy rumbling. I’m normally ravenous by then and there is nothing but biscuits, which is very dangerous. I’m quite London-centric at the moment as it’s where most of the work is for me. I’ve just returned from a four-month UK tour of East is East where I was lucky to be directed by Sam Yates who is also directing Cymbeline – I suppose I can’t have annoyed him too much for him to want to work with me again. This will be my second Christmas spent at the Globe in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse as I was here last year for The Knight of the Burning Pestle, which was great fun. This time I will be playing the Queen, the wife of Cymbeline. When I first read the
play, I thought it’s almost like Shakespeare has echoed the greatest bits from his other plays and put them in Cymbeline. But it still has its own unique style and story to tell. The audience are in for a treat. They can expect laughter, frights and not everyone makes it out alive – it’s the perfect festive show. When we break for lunch we all tend to hang around in the space and catch up on some life admin. It’s only an hour so it does fly by but it’s also a good chance to catch up on lines. The rehearsals are quite physical, I asked if I could be part of the battle that occurs in the play – I get to wave a sword around the place and I also have a shield – something I’ve never done before in a play. I’ve also been rehearsing my surprise entrance, which I hope the audience will be blown away by. It is the result of Cymbeline being written specifically for a theatre just like the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and was most innovative at the time. I enjoy walking home, where I often go over my lines again. I suspect a lot of Londoners have seen me wandering the
street muttering Shakespeare to myself. I love to come home and relax – I enjoy watching detective series including Lewis and Midsomer Murders. If my call time is a little later, I may watch some daytime Inspector Morse before rehearsals. I like to sandwich my days with crime. I’ve written several novels and I’m hoping to continue the writing process once Cymbeline is up and running, in between performances and during my off days. I am planning a gory, thriller type novel next. To unwind further I also have a love for knitting – I’m a patron for Little Hill Animal Rescue, a charity responsible for rehoming battery farm chickens. When the chickens come out of the farms they have often lost all their feathers, so along with many other volunteers I knit the chickens jackets to keep them warm. I also have my own line of tea cosies called ‘A Go On’ which I personally knit. I get into bed around 10.30pm with a good book, before turning the light off around midnight.’ Pauline will play the Queen in Cymbeline. 2 December 2015 – 21 April 2016, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
