The Necromancer
Front Room Weston-Super-Mare, Weston-Super-Mare, BS23 1FF
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!

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
