The Plot

'Treason is treason is treason. It's just the optics. It doesn't help the story we're telling.' 5th November 1605. London. A plot foiled. A trial imminent. A story rewritten. Two brothers stand accused of high treason for a plot they bet their lives to pull off. And on the other side of the Thames, a playwright weaves their story into a new masterpiece to save his own skin. The Plot is a daring, playful and quick-witted show about the power of great stories, and those who wield them. Emma Howlett's play premiered at Summerhall during the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
