Death of The Monarchy
A world premiere of a new play by Gavin Egan. Join us for a script-in-hand rehearsed reading.
It is December 1648, the aftermath of the English Civil War. King Charles is defeated and Oliver Cromwell is left to decide his fate – but the law is against him. The New Model Army is restless for justice and Parliament is unable to reach a consensus. ‘Death of The Monarchy’ is a powerful exploration into the raw nature of power and the minds of those that seek it. Will we learn from history or are we forever prisoners of the past?
Playwright Gavin Egan has seen his previous plays produced in London, the Haymarket Theatre (Basingstoke) and the Yvonne Arnaud in Guildford. His plays have received a number of critical reviews. Gavin was part of the first group of writers invited to develop their writing with Soho Theatre Writers’ Group.
