Guy Fawkes - Hero or Villain?

Was he a simple stooge or did he know what he was doing?

Was he brave or foolish?

Why did the Gunpowder Plot take place?

November the Fifth tells the tale of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. It is a story that has great resonance today in this age of extremist belief, corrupt governments and religious terrorism. Follow the journey of Guy Fawkes from his beginnings as a mercenary to a dedicated follower of the Catholic cause.

This new adaptation of Chris Lambert’s 2001 musical is brought to life by Exiled Theatre and Theale Green students in an exciting blend of music, drama, action and comedy.

Tickets £7, £5 concessions
