To celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of George Borrow (1803-1881), best-selling author, linguist, honorary gypsy and 'resident' of Brompton Cemetery, Concordance, resident company at the Finborough Theatre, presents a script-in-hand performance of scenes from Lavengro and The Romany Rye in the delightful surroundings of Brompton Cemetery's Chapel.

In 1825, the penniless George Borrow walked through England and later recorded his adventures in a racy blend of fact and fiction. We recount his time in Mumper's Dingle, including a knockdown fight with "The Blazing Tinman", a visit from his gypsy blood brother, and, above all, his relationship with the "splendid road-girl", Isopel Berners - one of the "most touching romances in English literature".
