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?’

History has never felt so modern, theft never more attractive.

The Highwayman’s creed is simple: look after your wife, and your life. 

By John Godber.

Designed by Graham Kirk.
