The gates to the Tower of London are locked; those inside must answer to us all . . .

 

 

“Watch for the signal, storm The Tower”

 

Experience what it’s like to be at the centre of a critical moment in this nation’s history, witness the conspiracy evolve through digital storytelling, watch for the signal, enter the Tower through a long forgotten entrance and take your part in deciding the fate of the nation.

 

 

 

differencEngine created ‘The People’s Revolt’,  in collaboration with Historical Royal Palaces, at the Tower of London and will shortly announce further dates.

 

Set in the near future, events mirror those of the Peasants Revolt of 1381 led by revolutionary Wat Tyler, when the people’s protest turned to violent revolt over taxes, austerity and unstable leadership.

 

 

Past and present are brought dramatically together in this modern reimagining. Digital storytelling provides real-time updates from an underground network of rebels and their advance on London, before audiences of twenty find themselves singled out as key conspirators leading Tyler’s assault on the Tower of London itself. Choice and chance are at play between the age-old Tower walls. How will the fate of the nation be decided; will history be re-written?
