"This is a terrific initiative to remind people that in this country there is a history of centuries of class struggle, often based upon a belief in equality and freedom."

John McDonnell, MP Hayes and Harlington 

​

"The story of the Peasants’ Revolt has resonated through generations. It would be fantastic to see this important chapter of England’s radical history brought to life on stage."

Dan Carden, MP Liverpool, Walton

​

“The revolt of the common people against their feudal overlords has a very contemporary feel in 2023. The act of bringing the people’s history to the people through live theatre is a worthy initiative that should be supported by trade unionists and everyone who believes in a better future. Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.”

Alex Gordon, President, National Union of Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers (RMT) 

​

"Very best of luck with this project - you may know that I am a huge fan of radical history and among other things have written a song 'Tyler Smiles' about the second anti poll tax Peasants' Revolt of 1990 looking back to 1381 and dedicated to the spirit of Wat Tyler. This donation is from our community festival, Glastonwick - it is exactly the kind of thing we are proud to support."

John Baine (Attila the Stockbroker)
