Remember, remember the 5th of November,
for its gunpowder, treason, and plot
We’re here to tell you the rest of the tale,
the one that history books forgot
Guy Fawkes remains an anonymous figure, 
we have more to bring to the table
It’s time to meet the rest of the plotters,
in our fiery musical fable

The score and lyrics have been written by Ricky Allan, with a book by Kieran Lynn and Ricky Allan. Meanwhile, the concert will feature  musical supervision by Nick Pinchbeck and orchestration by Matthew Malone.

This concert production follows on from the release of five tracks from the musical on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music and is set to feature five additional songs.
