2. A DARK COMEDY ABOUT
THE BLACK DEATH.
1665, Newgate Prison, London.
Matthias, an alchemist, has bankrupted
himself trying to find a cure for the plague
and has been thrown into prison for debt.
There he is joined by Hannah, a garrulous
widow, held for raising a riot, and young
Jennet, who is sentenced to hang for theft.
All three of them are busy plotting against
each other in their efforts to escape when
the pestilence arrives in the stone pits of
Newgate.
Whilst the other inmates - believing they
are doomed - indulge in debauchery and
drunkenness, Matthias begs his reluctant
cellmates to help him make his sure-
fire remedy. Unfortunately, the missing
ingredient is gold - something they have
no hope of obtaining without resorting to
the only currencies they do have: sex, wit
and lies. Four Thieves’ Vinegar explores
the behaviour of ordinary people in times of
disaster and examines which elements of
the human spirit remain indestructible, be it
three hundred and fifty years ago, or today.
