Terry Pratchett’s Mort the Musical (2012)

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job…

Meet Mortimer. An awkward, unemployable young man. Soon, however, he gets an offer he can’t refuse – free room, free board, and all for a business that will never be short of customers.

He doesn’t even need to be dead to take the position.

Being Death’s apprentice, however, comes with great responsibilities. Death is a difficult boss to work for and, understandably, Mort begins to make mistakes. Coupled with the fact he’s fallen in love with a Princess who should be dead, will Mort regret his unique career choice?

Pratchett’s novel comes vividly to life in this superb musical theatre fantasy: young Mortimer gets apprenticed to Death himself and falls for the Princess – but can he put Time back together? Sorcery, magic, comedy and romance in one fabulous evening.

Wildly witty and inventive, this musical adaptation by Jenifer Toksvig and Dominic Haslam, based on Terry Pratchett’s classic Discworld novel, was developed by YMT in 2007, 2008 and most recently at the Greenwich Theatre in 2011. YMT are delighted to be transferring it to the Rose theatre in Kingston in 2012.
