Triggered by an oppressive poll tax but fuelled by deeper injustices, this uprising saw land workers, artisans, and commoners rise to challenge the authority of landowners, church, and crown. 'When Katherine Brewed' brings this momentous event to life on stage, blending historical fidelity with a bold, radical perspective.Drawing from chronicles and centuries of literary reinterpretation, this devised play reveals the struggles of the forgotten: those who dared to dream of a world free from exploitation and tyranny. Through the lens of class struggle and solidarity, the story of Wat Tyler, John Ball, and their fellow rebels unfolds, exposing the duplicity of rulers and the undying hope of those who resist.Echoing the spirit of radical theatre traditions, this play reimagines this medieval rebellion with contemporary relevance, urging audiences to reflect on enduring issues of inequality and power. Both an homage to the past and a rallying cry for the future, this production is as much a tribute to those who fought as it is an invitation to envision a world transformed. Witness history, and the lessons it still holds. 04 00 Telling the Story of the Peasants' Revolt and Today's 'New Radical Theatre' When Katherine Brewed A Play about the 1381 English Peasants' Revolt Written by John Cresswell Cast Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3 Scene 4 Scene 5 Scene 6 Scene 7 Scene 8 Scene 9 Scene 10 Scene 11 Scene 12 Scene 13 Scene 14 Scene 15 Scene 16 Scene 17 Scene 18 Scene 19 Scene 20 Scene 21 Scene 22 Scene 23 Scene 24 Scene 25 Scene 26 Scene 27 Scene 28 Scene 29 Scene 30 Appendix I: Supporting organisations Appendix II: Permissions Appendix III: Historical Characters Appendix IV: Fictitious Characters 01 00 03 02 https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0456_frontcover.jpg Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers Cambridge, UK 04 01 20250627 02 WORLD 06 15 9781805115434 06 15 9781805115441 06 15 9781805115458 06 15 9781805115472 06 15 9781805115465 WORLD 09 Open Book Publishers 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0456.epub 20 02 20250627 02 7.99 USD WORLD 09 Open Book Publishers 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/OBP.0456 20 02 20250627 02 7.99 USD WORLD
