The Babington Plot was a Catholic plot in 1586 to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, a Protestant, and put Mary, Queen of Scots, a Catholic, on the English throne. It led to the execution of Mary. The long-term goal was an invasion by the Spanish forces of King Philip II and the Catholic league in France, leading to the restoration of the Catholic religion in England. The chief conspirator was Sir Anthony Babington (1561-1586), a young Catholic nobleman. The leading Catholics in England were loyal to Elizabeth and rebuffed overtures to support the plot. The actual designers were Don Bernardino de Mendoza in Paris and King Philip II in Madrid.

The Gun Powder Plot?
The play's title is "Equivocation" written by Bill Cain. Currently in production (World Premere) at the Ashland Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Equivocation is the recipient of The Edgerton Foundation 2008 New American Plays Award.The play tells the story of William Shagspeare (Bill Cain's favorite spelling of the name) struggle to write a play about the Gun Powder Plot for King James. In conversations with various individuals "involved" in the plot, Shagspeare comes to realize that what the government wants is a play that will be a propaganda play to justify the persecution of the Roman Catholic Church, its Priests and its members.Shagspeare's solution is to use Father Henry Garnet's practice of Equivocation to tell the story and keep from offending the King and Sir Robert Cecil, a ruthless member of the King's Council.Shagspeare writes MacBeth, which pleases the King and keeps Sir Robert Cecil from destroying William Shagspeare.
