Augusta

First woman in Rome, Augusta has it all – except power. Who can help? Good old Attila the Hun. What could possibly go wrong? Historical, hysterical, heartbreaking comedy from subtlenuance.

Based on an extraordinary true story, "Augusta" is a playful and provocative portrait of power.
Set in Late Antiquity, as the Roman Empire totters on the edge, it tells the story of Honoria, sister of the Emperor.
Though born into privilege and bestowed with the prestigious title of Augusta, Honoria remains deeply dissatisfied.
As a woman in Rome, she knows real power can never be hers.
Always preferred will be her stupid, stupid, stupid little brother!
So, she sets in motion the most audacious of plans.
With the Eternal City threatened by barbarian hordes, Augusta reaches out to the empire’s greatest enemy, Attila the Hun.
What could possibly go wrong?

Indie theatre icons subtlenuance are thrilled to present the latest work by critically acclaimed playwright Paul Gilchrist.
Both hilarious and deeply moving, "Augusta" is an outrageously comic cautionary tale, a mirth-filled, mischievous reminder that inequality tips the whole world into the abyss.
