THE STORY

 Instantly branded as the most wanted men in England, they race from London to the Midlands, desperately seeking to ignite a Catholic rebellion. Their daring plan? To overthrow King James and place his young daughter, Princess Elizabeth, on the throne. Had they succeeded, Britain might look very different today. As Gunpowder Siege sweeps across the country, we follow Catesby, Wintour, and Percy in their desperate bid to raise a revolutionary army – all while Fawkes endures brutal torture in the Tower. Narrating their journey is a shadowy female presence, deeply entwined with the plotters long before their radicalization amid the turmoil of England’s Reformation. While her male counterparts rage against the persecution of Catholic priests and worshippers, it is Anne Vaux’s (Charlotte Pyke) quiet strength and unwavering conviction that will ultimately be hailed as instrumental in the survival of English Catholicism.
