A Storms A Coming
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 and the gallows cast a shadow over the land and the people of Hastings, rebellious as ever, raised the flag of America as an act of defiance.
The show premiered and sold out in Hastings June 2024. We are now developing a new version of the show which we hope to develop in 2027.
