May 1606. In the Tower of London, Father Henry Garnet awaits a traitor’s death in the morning. Through his last confession, we follow the Gunpowder Plotters’ doomed conspiracy as Garnet wrestles with his own conscience and the indefatigable will of charismatic ringleader Robert Catesby. As Catesby recruits a group of desperate men, including the enigmatic soldier Guy Fawkes, we are led to question just how far a man will go for his friends and his faith. This exciting new play offers an intense, fast-paced and moving portrayal of one of the most infamous events in our history.
