Boudica & Me: A Guide to Carrying Your Fire
Rebekah Wallace Art
Maine, UNITED STATES
Winner of the Spirit of the Fringe Award (10-minute version, Colchester Fringe 2025)
What happens when a neurodivergent artist with Penobscot (First Nations) heritage walks the 75-mile route Boudica's army burned to the ground? She survives. Then she makes a show about it.
This autobiographical solo performance follows Rebekah Wallace from her feral childhood in Maine, through domestic violence and undiagnosed ADHD, bipolar and synesthesia, to a new life in Colchester – where she found a 2,000-year-old queen who refused to stay buried.
Having completed the pilgrimage in July 2026, Rebekah brings you the ashes, the embers, and the dark humour of midlife menopause. Expect raw storytelling, one very angry bra removal, and a genuine invitation to find your own fire.
