Killing Time In Darkminster

Sat 31st May

In the shadowy, anachronistic town of Darkminster, two young voices with extraordinary talent are caught in a dark-comedy musical where Hot Fuzz meets Adrian Mole.

Written by Packham & Kealy in collaboration with Andrew Simpson

At a strange and prestigious choir school, they uncover a murderous plot that seems to be silencing beauty and artistry altogether. Killing Time in Darkminster combines ecclesiastical synth-choral with contemporary musical theatre in a witty critique of the decline in arts education, celebrating the power of music to overcome even the darkest of secrets.
