DEATH ON THE THRONE | REVIEW
Rating: ★★★
Venue: Upstairs at the Gatehouse
A simple bedtime story swirls into a surreal tale of four flawed souls stuck in purgatory—a celestial bathroom—in this irreverent yet warm-hearted 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.
