A comedy musical written by James Cary (Miranda, Bluestone 42) and James Sherwood (The News Quiz, The Now Show) about Thomas Becket – twelfth-century England’s biggest name, and top celebrity murder victim. With story and jokes by Cary, and songs and more jokes by Sherwood. With musical styles from choral to hip-hop. With characters from kings to peasants. You’ll laugh like it’s a sitcom, be transported like it’s a musical (‘cos it is), and be gripped by one of the Middle Ages’ best historical tales. Think Blackadder with songs, or Horrible Histories but for grown-ups.
The first public performance of Death in Canterbury’s full and extensive songbook will take place on 13th and 14th January at 7.30pm at St Botolph Without Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3TL (nearest station: Liverpool Street). It will involve four professional singers (who’ve rehearsed and everything!) and James Cary will be the narrator.
