With music and dramatic readings from Samuel Pepys’ diaries, Seven Times Salt recreates the bustling energy of Restoration London, as described by English Literature’s quirkiest and most beloved “man on the street”.

Samuel Pepys, one of history’s most prolific diarists and a secretary of the Royal Navy during the reign of Charles II, was a man of his time and enjoyed all the cultural delights of the Restoration.

He frequently heard some of the finest musicians of his day and often enjoyed music-making with the very same musicians in his drawing room after dinner.

With music and dramatic readings from Pepys’ diaries, Seven Times Salt recreates the bustling energy of Restoration London, as described by English Literature’s quirkiest and most beloved “man on the street”.
