Boudica

When an ally of the Romans - King Prasutagus of the Iceni tribe - dies, his estranged wife Boudica returns to claim her rightful throne. Denied her inheritance and brutally punished by the Romans, she leads a tribal uprising in an attempt to exact bloody revenge. This brand new ancient history play narrating a powerful woman’s story, premiered at Shakespeare’s Globe in 2017 attempts to humanise a mythic figure who is one of Britain's most infamous women: a queen, a warrior and a rebel – Boudica.
