Crumplehorn Theatre bring ‘The Necromancer!’ to The Wardrobe Theatre
Crumplehorn Theatre are a Bristol-based theatre company led by award-winning playwright, performer and producer Claire Rammelkamp and actor, writer and composer Harry Creffield.
Together, their goal is to reframe trauma through a comic lens in a bid to “make the uncomfortable comfortable”.
Fresh from a successful Edinburgh Fringe run of Creffield’s solo mental health-themed show I’m Actually Fine!, the pair are back in the south west this autumn with their new musical comedy production, The Necromancer!.
is needed now More than ever
Described as “a spooky, irreverent, Medieval-ish musical comedy”, the show tackles themes ranging from grief and friendship to zombies.
When Myrtle’s mum is drowned as a witch for being suspiciously good-looking, she enlists the help of a magical cave-dwelling weirdo, THE NECROMANCER, to bring her back to life. But raising the dead is a lot harder (and more musical!) than she anticipates.
Following a run of three shows at The Wardrobe Theatre from September 30, The Necromancer! will move to Weston-super-Mare’s Front Room Theatre.
