"Step right up, folks, and change your life in an instant! Everybody's got a right to their dreams."
Charles Isherwood
Cold-blooded killers are the subject of this Tony winning musical from Stephen Sondheim, namely those 13 wretched souls who've taken aim on US Presidents, and the four that were successful. Unusual stories to base a musical on, sure. But with typical Sondheim grace and wit, Assassins is likely to be the highlight in the Menier Chocolate Factory's winter season.
Directed by man of the moment Jamie Lloyd (Richard III) and starring Catherine Tate and Andy Nyman and Broadway alum Aaron Tviet, (Enjolras in the Les Miserables film) as just a few of the would be killers, you know you can expect great things and very dark comedy from a revival with this pedigree.
Murderers, essentially, and those who would be murderers. Are they disaffected wackos, or do we have more in common with those lone rangers than we first thought. From Lincoln to Nixon, Ford to JFK, these symbols of power had had more than a fair few enemies. But this is the story of the smoking gun, the actions and thoughts that led to pulling the trigger, set to a recognisably Sondheim score...
