Following its premiere at the York Theatre Royal in June, Nick Bagnall's touring production will stop of at the four battle sites of the period: Tewkesbury, St Albans, Barnet and Towton. The last of these encounters resulted in "the biggest loss of life ever on English soil in a single day," artistic director Dominic Dromgoole explained, with 28,000 causalities incurred before Edward IV displaced Henry VI as king.

Not sure why I got it! I got the same last year so was able to book early for the Rylances. Worth ticking every box you can find about "please send me marketing nonsense"!
