Shakespeare's Gunpowder Plot archiveShakespeare is the King's favourite and the darling of London, but when he learns about the gunpowder plot his latest work, Macbeth, suddenly becomes incendiary. King killing is now a real possibility. Shakespeare planned to justify regicide but now, with often ludicrous help from King James himself, he must rewrite the play to get himself out of trouble and distance himself from the Gunpowder Plot. He moves from feeling free to practice his art to feeling that his play is a monster that might destroy him. Compromise or face treason is the painful choice he must make. A unique story about the dangers of artistic freedom. Tensions, reversals, treason and gallows humour throughout.
