Battlesong of Boudica

Easily the most elaborate and ambitious show I saw at Fringe, Battlesong of Boudica is an intense onstage spectacle that defies the limitations of Fringe theater.

Battlesong of Boudica was a fantastic show! Everything from the acting to the stage combat was very well executed!... full review

I loved the live combat and sword fighting. In a world where we’ve become so used to digital special effects, it was refreshing to watch fight sequences and hand-to-hand combat up close and in person. Plus, the storyline was entertaining too.... full review

The show was amazing, raw & savage, I was legitimately entertained, strength of womankind on display, start to finish hanging on to every scene!... full review

The show feels like a vivid campfire story. It's an epic topic told in an intimate setting, and I was completely absorbed from the outset. The cast were all great, they managed to keep a fun, contemporary feeling to the story, while still conveying the horrors of war and occupation. Boudica and her two daughters keep the play grounded in genuine emotion, conveying believable family dynamics behind the mythology. They made a great use of props, including puppets ranging from the little sacrificial bunny to the huge goddess of war. There are beheadings and bloody sword fights. A lot of fun and surprisingly moving.... full review

A gripping historical drama about the power and hazards of revenge, staged with tremendous ambition.... full review

Great show, great combat, great story! ... full review
