The Highwayman is waiting, and there is no escape.

It’s 1769 and everyone is flocking north, every ale house is packed with the great and the bad.

It’s the place to be; a region drunk on making money, social climbing, gambling and gin, but with wealth in abundance, the temptation is great.

Godber’s Highwayman is visceral, venal and very funny. History has never felt so modern, theft never more attractive.

The Highwayman’s creed is simple; look after number one and to hell with the hangman!
