Set in the early nineteenth century, a time when there was growing civil unrest in England, Courtenay is based on a true story about the charismatic character at the centre of the worsening troubles.

 

The events leading up to the last battle to be fought on English soil are vividly portrayed on stage in this compelling musical drama.

A story charged with conflicting situations of morality versus power, of love, loyalty and ultimately of bloody rebellion.
