Angela Carter’s WISE CHILDREN Part 2: drinking, dancing & writing in Clapham, London

In Part Two, we continue to map out the South London world of ‘Wise Children’’s fictional characters. We find a haberdashers on Clapham High Street, above which Dora and Nora might have learned to dance. We stop in at the Coach and Horses pub on Acre Lane - Dora’s local. And we visit Angela Carter’s house in Clapham where this magnificent tale of 20th century show business folk was dreamed up.  Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast.
