Boadicea begins in a time of upheaval. Rome has extended its grip across Britannia, pressing its rule upon the Celtic tribes.
When Boadicea’s husband, Prasutagus, dies, Roman forces seize the kingdom, brutalizing her family and igniting a fury that becomes the spark of rebellion.

From injustice comes uprising.
From one woman comes a movement.
The production explores:
