KINGDOM COME - RSC
A fever dream of the english civil war
‘Gemma Brockis and Wendy Hubbard’s ambitious production for the RSC unfolds like a series of old masters.’
THE GUARDIAN - FULL REVIEW
‘Bold, brilliant work. An almost orgiastic visual experience.’
THE STAGE
The show took as its subject the English Civil War.
This was a time of iconoclasm.
A time when all forms of performance were seen as inherently sinful.
The king was tried for crimes against his people.
He was beheaded.
England became a republic.
n.
And the kingdoms of England, Ireland and Scotland were thrown into utter chaos by the bloodiest wars these lands have ever known.
This is the story of Kingdom Come.
