Winter Hill

A new play by Timberlake Wertenbaker explores at what point does the fight for freedom become terrorism.

Octagon Theatre Bolton presents the world première of Winter Hill by the author of the Olivier Award-winning Our Country’s Good and most recently Jefferson’s Garden.

The production’s all-female cast will be directed by Octagon artistic director Elizabeth Newman.

Set in Bolton, in the near future, Winter Hill centres on a group of eight local women as they deal with the ramifications of land on nearby Winter Hill being sold to developers to create a luxurious skyscraper hotel—the largest in Europe.

It runs from May 11 to June 3.
