A CHASTE MAID IN CHEAPSIDE
BRISTOL OLD VIC STUDIO

The inhabitants of Jacobean London were never the least bit coy about their sexual shenanagins and the characters in this comedy are all ‘at it’ all the time. Whether their cavortings and couplings are driven by love, lust or financial greed it’s hard to say. Certainly you’d be hard-pressed to find such a thing as a chaste maid (or husband or wife) anywhere in Middleton’s Cheapside.

David played the role of Tim Yellowhammer.

"Tim Yellowhammer's... gradual corruption throughout the drama is most enjoyable to watch." Robin Markwell, BBC, 20/03/07

"There are some stand out performances; David Oakes's feckless Cambridge fop, for example." Steve Wright, Venue Magazine, 23/03/07


"Oh, This is Horrible... Help me Tutor, or I shall rub my lips off!"


"I marl what this gentlewoman should be that I should have in marriage."


"I scorn to cog with her, I'll tell her so too; EGO NON COGO!"


"A wise man for love will seek out every hole, my tutor knows it!"


"A Vengeance Runt Thee!"
