America Ground - The Musical
America Ground - The Musical
an allegory about a revolution that never happened
but could happen yet!
Between 1820 and 1840 a series of storms, land grabs and mass insurrection made Hastings a hot bed of subversion and revolution. The populace looked to the Americas for an answer to their problems of fair rent, freedom to live as free men and land to build on. Smuggling, murder and industrial strife spread across from Kent and Captain Swing stalked the land. Men made and lost fortunes, homes and lives, the gallows cast a shadow over the land and lives of anyone who stood against the criminal class.
The project now has backing from Arts Council England, English Heritage and now we are looking for crowdfunding and sponsorship to turn this into a full scale musical for production in June 2024.
