Thick House is an intimate theater located on San Francisco's Potrero Hill.
Born to an impoverished family in 1633, Samuel Pepys rose above his class to become a member of Parliament. In his diaries, which today exist as one of the most comprehensive records of Elizabethan society, he captures such remarkably moments in history such as the Great London Fire and the Black Death. Join Thick House as the diary comes to life onstage and a long-past era is reawakened in this world premiere play. Part of Thick Description's 2005 Presenting Program.
