Description for The Clink, The
Paperback. Elizabeth I is at death's door. Conspirators are everywhere. A politically-sensitive trade delegation is on its way to London. Who can be trusted to entertain them? Comedian Lucius Bodkin thinks he'll hit the big time but he's reckoned without the Tudor backstabbers and the City wide-boys. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 151 x 197 x 6. Weight in Grams: 116.
A riotously funny satirical farce in the tradition of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Shakespeare in Love, from the author of The Libertine.
Elizabeth I is tottering at death's door. Conspirators are everywhere. Lucius Bodkin, an Elizabethan stand-up comedian, becomes unwillingly involved in the political skullduggery and jiggery-pokery surrounding the ailing queen.
The Clink could pass itself off as a long-lost Elizabethan comedy. In fact it is a brilliant political satire offering many sharp parallels with our own times, when art must be sponsored, but to be sponsored it must be 'safe'.
