Guy Fawkes' Mother
Guy Fawkes’ Mother
England is a nation divided. One half of the population treats the other with loathing. There has been an act of terrorism that has shaken the nation. In the turmoil, the lone voice of a middle aged woman is unheard and ignored. One woman has a story to tell – the mother of the most famous terrorist in England.
Echoing the divided nation of Brexit Britain, one woman embodies the hurt of the nation through the execution of her son. She is a minority – a woman, middle aged and Roman Catholic. Who would want to hear what she has to say?
Written and performed by Rose Bruford graduate Heather Leech and based on real characters and facts, Guy Fawkes‘Mother traces a woman, a mother and an outlawed Roman Catholic at a time of national turmoil.
