Setting

An open field at Mile End, just outside the city walls of London. The area is a mix of trampled grass and dirt paths, with a makeshift meeting space cleared for the king and rebel leaders.

The field is surrounded by clusters of armed peasants and nervous nobles, creating a tense perimeter.

TNGF
SELECTED
King Richard II
primary
A slender youth with delicate features, his fair hair slightly disheveled from the tense encounter. His pale complexion contrasts with the rich fabrics of his royal attire, and his blue eyes betray a mix of fear and determination.
Wat Tyler
primary
A rugged man with sun-weathered skin and a thick beard, his frame hardened by years of labor. His piercing eyes burn with the fire of rebellion, and his hands are calloused from wielding tools—and now, weapons.
Royal advisor
secondary
A gaunt man with sharp, calculating eyes and a neatly trimmed gray beard. His posture is rigid, reflecting years of courtly discipline.
Rebel peasant
secondary
A burly man with sun-weathered skin and a thick, unkempt beard. His hands are calloused from years of labor, and his eyes burn with a mix of anger and hope.
Nobleman
background
A slender man with a pale complexion, his thinning brown hair is neatly trimmed in the fashion of the nobility. His hands are soft, unused to labor, and he wears a signet ring bearing his family crest.

Dialog

Wat Tyler We will not be silenced, nor will we toil like beasts while the lords grow fat upon our sweat! End the poll tax and grant us our freedom!
King Richard II We... We hear thy grievances, good man. The Crown shall consider thy... thy just demands.
Royal advisor My liege, prudence is needed. Grant them audience, but do not yield the kingdom to lawless men.
Wat Tyler Consider? Our backs bear the lash while you 'consider' in your halls of stone! The time for words is past!
King Richard II Peace! We... We command peace! The Crown shall have order!
Royal advisor It is the king's mercy that stays the archers even now upon the walls, goodman Tyler. Choose thy next words wisely.
Wat Tyler Mercy? We know the mercy of the lords - the mercy of the gallows and the branding iron!
