Sir Tony Robinson

The House of Wolf

Sunday 5 October  BTN SOLD OUT RED120
Bridge House Theatre
7.30pm

Wessex: King Æthelwolf’s power is fading, but none of his feckless children are fit to rule. His eldest sons would rather fight each other than the blood-thirsty Norlander invaders. His daughter, Swift, is clever and cunning, but sometimes blinded by her ambition. And, finally, Alfred, his once-promising younger son, has not been seen in years.

Then Asser, a young priest, arrives from Rome with a proposition that could change everything.

So begins an epic struggle between greed and idealism, ambition and betrayal, freedom and tyranny. On the path to power, nobody can be trusted.

Sir Tony Robinson, actor, presenter, historical expert and star of Blackadder and Time Team, makes his adult fiction debut with this earthy, entertaining and gloriously witty story of the Anglo-Saxons, Alfred the Great and the making of England.

In conversation with acclaimed historian Nicola Tallis.
