‘The Gunpowder Plot’ by Thomas Gemmell will be presented on Friday November 4th 2005 at the Craigmonie Centre – Glen Urquhart High School, Drumnadrochit, Inverness-shire at 7.30pm. 

This riveting drama traces three of the most famous men in British history to Traitor's Gate in London when the "Powder Treason" was discovered.

Historical insight, wit and wordplay blends fact and fiction into a fiendishly twisting drama, which poses the question: Was the gunpowder plot just part of a larger conspiracy that has remained hidden for four centuries?

A mysterious visitor arrives - a certain Mr William Shakespeare, writer, and sometime actor.
