A HARLOT'S PROGRESS reinvents William Hogarth's famous painting of 1732 which tells the story of a whore, a Jewish merchant, a magistrate and a quack doctor bound together by sexual and financial greed.
Can we ever know the truth about the past? David Dabydeen liberates the black slave boy from Hogarth's 1732 engravings to tell his own story in an exhilarating, vivid series of half-truths, myths and fantasies.
