A BBC Radio drama based on an actual historical event. In 16th Century England during the reign of Elizabeth I, a group of Catholic gentlemen stirred up by outlawed Catholic priest John Ballard conceived a plan to assassinate the Protestant Queen and supplant her with her Catholic cousin Mary Queen of Scots. The leader of this plot was young Anthony Babington, a rather vapid young aristocrat...and the last person anyone would suspect of even thinking of trying to overthrow the government. The plot failed and almost all of the conspirators were arrested, tried for treason and executed in the most horrible method imaginable ... hanging, drawing and quartering. The story of the failed conspiracy, told in documentary fashion on its one-year anniversary, is revealed via the different perspectives of several participants in the events ... some of them genuine conspirators, some of them innocent onlookers, some government agents working to uncover the plot and some of them government spies who had infiltrated the group. Was there actually more to the story than simply a conspiracy to overthrow the government...and was there more to Anthony Babington than he seemed or than history has revealed? The Presenter ...
