Produced by Liverpool's Royal Court and showing at the Royal Court Studio, 22nd June - 9th July, 2022. Offered Up, which is being produced by Liverpool's Royal Court, is a thriller set in 1645 in the North West of England. The show is probably best described as an English Civil War Western, historical in setting but with a contemporary edge. Official blurb from the Royal Court website:
"The year
is 1645 and the English Civil War rages through the country. Willmas runs an inn just outside of Chester with the help of his daughter Rosamund, struggling to stay afloat by serving both sides. Their lives are about to become a lot more complicated as Reverend Thomas arrives, a man of the cloth whose robes don’t sit right. Then Jennet, a gunslinging outlaw bursts in, bringing intrigue and danger behind her. Is there enough room at the inn for the problems that they bring? Joe Matthew-Morris has created an absorbing thriller full of bluff, double-bluff and secrets laid bare which will captivate you and keep you on the edge of your seat all night. Join us in The Royal Court Studio for a historical adventure that shows just how far people will go when their future is at stake.
