One Man and His Masks – Boudicca: Britain’s Dreaming

Boudicca’s revolt against the Romans told as a punk rock tour! Combined-arts Bardic storytelling with masks, verse, wheelchair, megaphone, flags and Celtic drum. An alternative Celtic ‘her story’ challenging standard Roman history. A sound-rich Clash of lyricism, battle poetry, movement, protest, requiem and drum. ‘The wheelchair/chariot is a wonderful symbol of (dis)empowerment’ (Miranda Aldhouse-Green, UCC). ‘The juxtaposition of Boudicca’s world with punk culture is surprisingly effective’ (Alison Hindell, BBC Radio 4). ‘One Man and His Masks – Arthur: Britain’s Making’, in repertory on alternate evenings, tells Arthur’s legend as a sports broadcast.
