Product Description
It's 1605, and England is riven between Catholic and Protestant. An aristocratic group of young religious fanatics has recruited a mercenary, Guy Fawkes, to strike at the heart of the English Government. This incendiary thriller weaves together the lives of kings and terrorists, priests and spies in a play of epic proportions, which has the sweep and scope of the very best historical drama.
About the Author
Edward Kemp has adapted two earlier Chichester successes, Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita and Lessing's Nathan the Wise, and the RSC's version of The Mysteries (both the latter published by NHB).
