Time Out says
Wed Oct 3 2012
Join Mosoho at St Patrick's church to hear about two of Soho Square's most interesting inhabitants. It's the mid-eighteenth century, and on one side of the square lives Teresa Cornelys, teenage seducer of Casanova and hostess of the Society Club, which entertains prime ministers, royalty and the great and not so good of the age. On the other resides Joseph Banks, responsible for acquiring natural history treasures from around the world and organising Captain Cook's first South Pacific voyage. Their differing worlds are conjured up by author Judith Summers and Eton College Natural History Museum curator George Fussey in an event that promises tipples, nibbles, and masks too.
