About this event

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!) the duo behind the viral ‘Rich Girl’ sketches, 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! Elevate Festival This event is part of Elevate Festival, a week-long celebration of new work from South-West artists.
