John Godber’s ‘The Highwayman’ at The Dukes
It’s 1769 and 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 new thrilling theatrical romantic adventure from the writer of ‘Bouncers’ and ‘Do I Love You?’
This looks like an amazing show to go to, and the reviews are stellar. This is one that’s definitely going on my “to-go” list!
