Killmengro is based on the true story of the last gypsies to be executed in England for the crime of being gypsies: thirteen were hanged at Bury St Edmunds in 1658. The story is told through drama, poetry, music, dance and song with parts performed in the Romani language with English subtitles shown on screen.

USER (31Oct06): The performance and standard of the actors was high, but slightly let down by the props which appeared unsteady and ready to colapse. As billed the play is based on true events, but in a very loose manner and is more about the relationship between two sisters, and the men whom they are at the mercy of. Typically the men are of valour, one the captor and the other the rescuer, dissapointingly I found the play eroticised the GYPSY women which inturn took away not only the realities of their plight but also the inner strength and determination of the GYPSY woman in a historical occurance that killed all their menfolk. 2
