Combining a detailed historical narrative with cunning dramatic licence, Godspeed moves with nail-biting tension through the planning, suspense and ultimate unravelling of The Gunpowder Plot. Godspeed promises to rival the best contemporary thrillers, while also combining powerful historical intrigue. The King's Speech has shown that the world has a great appetite for British history and cinema, and we expect Godspeed to build on that success.

Short Synopsis

Beginning with the historical background of the Gunpowder Plot and the fermentation of religious conflict between Catholics and Puritans, Godspeed soon develops into a tense conspiracy that takes in the instigation of the plot by Robert Catesby and the recruitment of his co-conspirators, including the legendary Guido Fawkes.
