About

Step into history with The People's Fire: A Chartist Tale.

This powerful five-part theatre experience brings the Chartist Trial to life, following the events through the eyes of John Frost, Mary Frost, William Jones, Zephaniah Williams, and others whose voices helped shape a movement.
Blending drama and original songs, the production explores courage, conviction, and the tension between justice and power, including the presence of a judge determined to uphold the law. The People's Fire reignites a defining moment in history, inviting audiences to witness the human stories behind the struggle for reform.

A compelling theatrical journey where history's flame burns bright once more.
