Fawkes The Quiet Guy was the first co-Director collaboration of Fiona Morgans and Elain Halloway.  Written by Kjartan Poskitt, the storyline tells the tale of the famous Gunpowder Plot of 1605.  13 men, under the leadership of Sir Robert Catesby, decided to kill King James I and the Members of Parliament due to them ordering the expulsion of all Catholic priests from England.  36 gunpowder barrels were stored under the House of Lords.  An anonymous letter was sent to Lord Monteagle, warning him to stay away from the Houses of Parliament on the night of the 5th November – this warning reached the King.  His forces caught several of the conspiratators, including Guy Fawkes and, in celebration of his survival, King James ordered that tthere should be a great bonfire on the night of the 5th November.  Placed on top was an effigy of the Pope – this has now been replaced by a ‘Guy’.
