Musical comedy 'The Necromancer!' by Claire Rammelkamp and Harry Creffield, staged by Exeter Northcott at the Barnfield Theatre as part of Elevate Festival.
The Necromancer! plays at Barnfield Theatre on Wednesday 4 November, a brand new musical comedy from Crumplehorn Theatre. It's part of Elevate Festival, a week-long celebration of new work from South-West artists running from 1 to 7 November, staged by Exeter Northcott.
The story follows Myrtle, whose mum is drowned as a witch for being suspiciously good-looking. To get her back, Myrtle enlists the help of a magical cave-dwelling weirdo, The Necromancer, only to find that raising the dead is far harder — and more musical — than she'd hoped. It's described as a Monty-Python-esque dark comedy about grief, friendship and zombies, full of jokes, songs and arcane magic that takes the audience into the world of death.
Behind the show are Claire Rammelkamp, a writer on Have I Got News For You, and Harry Creffield, composer of I'm Actually Fine!. The two are the duo behind the viral 'Rich Girl' sketches, and this is their first full-length musical comedy together. It's a new piece of writing, so it's one of the first chances to see it on stage.
