A mob of peasants, led by John Wrawe, storms the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The rebels, fueled by anger over the oppressive poll tax and feudal abuses, target the w

Setting

The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds, a grand and imposing religious complex, is under siege. The courtyard is filled with chaos as rebels storm the gates. The abbey's stone walls, once a symbol of divine authority, now bear the marks of violence—scorched wood, broken statues, and scattered religious artifacts. The air is thick with the scent of smoke and the distant cries of the oppressed.

TNGF
SELECTED
John Wrawe
primary
A burly man with a weathered face, his sun-browned skin marked by years of toil. His dark, unkempt beard and piercing eyes reflect the fire of rebellion.
Monk
primary
A middle-aged monk with a gaunt face, sunken eyes from years of devotion and fear. His tonsure is slightly uneven, and his hands are calloused from both prayer and menial labor. His brown robe is worn at the hem, and a simple wooden cross hangs from a frayed cord around his neck.
Rebel Peasant
secondary
A gaunt, sunburnt man with wild, unkempt hair and a wiry frame, his hands calloused from years of toil. His eyes burn with a mix of fury and desperation, reflecting the hardships of peasant life.
Abbot
secondary
An elderly man with a gaunt face, his once-proud posture now hunched in fear. His thinning white hair is disheveled, and his pale blue eyes dart nervously.

Dialog

John Wrawe The time for prayin' is done, brothers! The harvest of justice is ripe—let us reap it with fire and iron!
Monk Sancte Benedicte, ora pro nobis! Good people, I beg you—these relics are not your enemy!
John Wrawe Silver for the poor, aye? Or does Christ smile on your greed while we starve?
Monk Mercy—mercy in His name! The tax was the king's decree, not—
John Wrawe Aye, and who counts the king's coin on these very altars? Burn it! Burn all their golden lies!
Monk Dominus vobiscum... oh, what have you done...
