A spooky, irreverent, Medieval-ish musical comedy with songs catchy enough to raise the dead! Literally! – from Crumplehorn Theatre


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. Packed full of jokes, songs, and arcane magic, this medieval comedy takes the audience on a hilarious journey into the world of death!

Created by Claire Rammelkamp (writer, Have I Got News For You) and Harry Creffield (composer, I’m Actually Fine! ), made with the support of The Wardrobe Theatre, The Necromancer! is a brand new Monty-Python-esque dark comedy about grief, friendship… and zombies! Hold on to your wimples, things are about to get spooky!

“So funny, like What We Do In The Shadows meets Shrek meets the Mighty Boosh.”
