Half Term Dates For Hackney Schools in 2012, 2013 and 2014. When is Half Term?

Hackney’s history is strongly associated with theatre. The Theatre (built in 1576) and the Curtain (1578) were both located in Shoreditch. The Theatre staged the first performances of some of William Shakespeare’s plays, including Romeo and Juliet. St. Leonard’s (or Shoreditch Church) was once known as the actors’ church; those buried there include Richard Burbage, a contemporary of Shakespeare.

The church is referred to in the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons (“When I am rich, says the bells of Shoreditch.”) There was also a strong theatre tradition in 19th century Shoreditch: most famous was the Britannia, run for many years by Sara Lane.

The nursery rhyme, Pop goes the Weasel, makes reference to the Eagle pub, a large tavern on City Road that once had an adjoining music hall (“Up and down the City Road, in and out the Eagle, that’s the way the money goes, pop goes the weasel”).
