Witness the birth of the Romantic movement – a revolution of imagination forged in an age of riot, anti-slavery, industry and psychedelics. The Romantics rose as an act of defiance against tyranny and the mechanisation of the soul. This show tells their story through the lives of two poet renegades: Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.

Part storytelling stage show, part performance lecture, Romantics brings scholarship and live entertainment together in one thrilling journey. Expect reverence, resistance and enchantment wrought with music, comedy and ecstatic poetry.
