The Highwayman is waiting, and there is no escape.

It’s 1769 and Yorkshire’s population has exploded, the races at York are packed, the new theatre in Hull is thriving, and the Spa towns are full.

Everyone is flocking north, every ale house is packed with the great and the bad. Yorkshire 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 coming from the region where Turpin was caught and Nevison made his great leap! Godber’s Highwayman is visceral, venal and very funny. History has never felt so modern, theft never more attractive. The Highwayman’s creed is simple; look after number one and to hell with the hangman!

Written and directed by John Godber. Designed by Graham Kirk. Incidental music by Ruby Macintosh. Arrangements by Dylan Allcock.
