Across The Dark Water

Maybe there's treason in us all.

1415. The armies of England muster in Southampton, preparing to launch Henry V's invasion of France.

But Scrope of Masham has discovered a dark plot that threatens to unseat Henry and change the course of history. Scrope, loyal to his king, intends to reveal all, but as he uncovers more, at Itchen Ferry, he is pulled across the dark water. Pulled so far he may not come back alive.

Across the Dark Water has been specially commissioned to tell the story of the Southampton Plot. Each of the venues has been specifically chosen for its significance during Henry's journey to battle through our region. Audiences will follow in the plotters' footsteps, 600 years later to the very day.

This performance forms part of the Road to Agincourt project.

Running Time: 70 minutes
