NOW PLAYING
Death on the Throne

A simple bedtime story swirls into a surreal tale of four flawed souls stuck in purgatory—a celestial bathroom—in this irreverent yet warmhearted new musical with songs by German pop-rock star Tobias Künzel (Die Prinzen) and Mark Underwood.
With limited spots in the afterlife, St. Peter is barely keeping his head above water. As each soul pleads their case, ‘help’ arrives in the form of (puppet) Elvis and, you guessed it, (puppet) former leader of the German Democratic Republic, Erich Honecker.
With hints of Avenue Q, this toe-tapping romp through bureaucracy, hope, and redemption promises to be anything but bog-standard.
“Bevan’s debut impresses with its confidence, honesty, and complexity”
"Truly a remarkable play"
"Bevan's script sizzles with quips about white saviourism"
