This summer, internationally renowned playwright John Godber is bringing the hilarious play ‘The Highwayman’ to two incredible venues: the beautiful Shakespeare North Playhouse, and the historic Theatre Royal Wakefield, for eight exclusive performances.
It’s 1769 and everyone is flocking north, every ale house is packed with the great and the bad.
The North is the place to be; a region drunk on making money, social climbing, gambling and gin, but with wealth in abundance, the temptation is great.
The Highwayman is a thrilling theatrical adventure from John Godber, told in the style of his infamous Bouncers, is visceral, venal and very funny.
The Highwayman’s creed is simple; look after number one and to hell with the hangman!
Written and directed by John Godber, with music from Ruby Macintosh and starring a collection of emerging actors history will have never felt more alive, and theft never so attractive!
“flashes of real spark and great moments” Always Time For Theatre
