Dashing horseman, daring robber, swashbuckling swordsman, adored by every woman, respected by every man. Or poacher, rapist, thief and murderer, swung from the York gallows in 1739. What do you want to believe? A dynamic new version of the life of Dick Turpin, the most famous highwayman of them all. Drawn from court transcripts, newspaper reports and eye witness accounts this is a real life adventure story from the eighteenth century. Moving at a rip-roaring pace, the play interweaves fact and fiction, text and song. You ll discover things about the man behind the myth that some wanted buried with him at York.
