THE KEYHOLE - COMMUNITY PLAY - SOUTHWARK LGBT PRIDE FESTIVAL
Saturday 1 July
2pm outside 45 Dolben Street; free
Open-air community play staged as part of Southwark LGBT
Pride Festival. Lesbian and gay theatre company Homo Promos
presents a re-enactment of the arrest, trial and execution
of James Pratt and John Smith, the last two men to be hanged
for sodomy in the UK. On 29 August 1835, James Pratt and
John Smith were arrested at 45 George Street (now Dolben
Street) in Southwark; on 21 September they were tried for
sodomy, along with William Bonill, whose room they were
using. They were sentenced to death, and Bonhill to
transportation for life, after a trial lasting less than an
hour, purely on the trumped-up evidence of the landlord and
his wife. The landlord and his wife changed their mind and
appealed for clemency; the magistrate who committed them to
trial appealed for clemency; the barrister leading the
prosecution appealed for clemency. The prime minister made
sure the appeals never came before the king. They were
hanged in public, outside Newgate Prison, on 27 November
1835. The hangman William Calcroft was a drunk and an
incompetent. James Pratt left a widow and two young
children. This is a community play, designed to commemorate
and acknowledge a major injustice.
