Gemma Brockis and Wendy Hubbard directed Kingdom Come at The Other Place.
I thought to have been silent. but this is a time of war.
The year is 1640.
Parliament is rebellious. There are mobs on London’s streets. England, Ireland and Scotland are poised on the brink of a devastating civil war. In Whitehall, supported by the newest theatrical machinery, King Charles I is playing a god. This cannot end well.
As the world turns upside down, women preach, poor men lead, and radical ideas illuminate the carnage.
But the puritan state starts to tighten its grip, and making theatre could soon be a capital offence…
This production saw actors and audiences move around The Other Place as they explored the political highs and lows of the English Civil War and the dramatic events that followed.
