Family Ticket: 2 Adults 2 Concessions(Children)

You can hear the crowd a mile away, you can smell them from half a mile. The village graveyard is heaving with excited fans. Sweaty peasants straight from the fields jostle to see the showdown between their wrestling heroes, Man Mountain and The Plough.

As the throng roars its support, a ship slips unnoticed into Weymouth harbour. It is carrying a lethal cargo. The year is 1348, and the Black Death has arrived.

As fear of infection takes hold, what will friends risk to save friends? What will battling brothers do to settle their differences before it’s too late?

This hysterically historical tale of plague, pestilence and puns features Shanty's trademark mix of inventive theatre, original live music, and stories that spring from the myths and history we uncover everywhere we go.

Never has the Black Death been so funny.
