The Plot

theatregoose • Professional company

70 minutes•Main Hall
5th November. 1605. London. A plot foiled. A trial imminent. A story rewritten. Two brothers stand accused of high treason for a plot they bet their lives to pull off, and on the other side of the Thames, a playwright weaves their story into a new masterpiece to save his own skin. The Plot is a show about the power of great stories, those who wield them, and the imagination. It is the fourth show by Emma Howlett with her company theatregoose, makers of consecutive Fringe hits Aether, Sisters Three and Her Green Hell.
