BATTLESONG
2019 // Rialto Theatre, Brighton
1 of 6 Scratch finalists, voted 2nd overall by the audience
A one act comedy set on the dawn of the morning of Battle of Hastings. Again. Fifteen year old Jack would rather be anywhere than camping with his re-enactment enthusiast family preparing to fight the Battle Of Hastings. Jack wants to be a musician but his dad, the ‘chief’, is a bully who teases him for being ‘soft’. He meets Matilda who also has family problems; she wants to join the battle, but in 1066 girls wielded needles, not swords. An absolutely bonkers comedy about standing your ground, even when its muddy. Voted Audience Favourite 2 of 3 nights at Brighton Rialto, and scheduled for production in 2020.
