Last year UK’s largest regional producing theatre, Theatre Royal Plymouth, along with the Wampanoag Advisory Committee headed by Linda Coombs and Kitty Hendricks, brought the concept of a major production to explore and acknowledge the strength and power of the Wampanoag Nation. Since then community sessions have been held in the US and the UK and the result is a script that has been completed and rehearsal dates that have been set. This is a major step forward in a piece of art that will better inform the world in the history of the Wampanaog Nation.

The Wampanoag scenes that are in the new script are almost entirely made up of what various tribal members said during the community workshops. The scripts are still a work in a progress and may be adjusted during the next round of community workshops, which will include a script read out. The community workshop schedule is below. There are a variety of dates and times to accommodate your schedule in hopes as many interested tribal members as possible will find a day and time to attend.
