Liberty by the poet Glyn Maxwell, whose Lifeblood was voted best play by the British Theatre Guide in 2005, is a thrilling adaptation of Anatole France's 1912 novel Les Dieux ont Soif. Liberty, set at the height of the 'Reign of Terror', tells the gripping story of Gamelin, a Revolutionary magistrate who turns from being a radical idealist to a fanatical apologist for state violence, and the effect on the lives of the girl he loves, his best friend and the people they know. This is a co-production with Lifeblood Theatre Company and directed by Guy Retallack.
