"The Highwayman" is a romantic ballad poem written by Alfred Noyes, first published in the August 1906 issue of Blackwood's Magazine, based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The following year it was included in Noyes' collection, Forty Singing Seamen and Other Poems, becoming an immediate success. In 1995 it was voted 15th in the BBC's poll for "The Nation's Favourite Poems".

I first created a version of the poem with Hand Shadows for a school in Essex some years ago. Since that time my version has undergone substantial changes, including a change from recorded sound to live speech and significant development of the characters.

It still sends shivers up my spine!
