The Southwark Mysteries were allegedly revealed to John Crow, trickster familiar of the Southwark poet and playwright John Constable, by The Goose, the spirit of a medieval Bankside whore, licensed by the Bishop of Winchester to ply her trade within The Liberty of The Clink. In Constable's apocalyptic vision, John Crow encounters The Goose at Crossbones, the whores' graveyard unearthed during work on the Jubilee Line Extension. She initiates him into a secret history spanning 2000 years, a healing vision of the Spirit in the flesh, the Sacred in the profane, Eternity in time...
