Of course, it could be a little longer. It could even be significantly longer if it wanted. Antonia Fraser’s book,
The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and Faith in 1605, runs to 448 pages, for instance, so it’s not as if context and details of what went on and the reasons for it all are lacking. At fifty minutes, however, it’s a marvel that
Treason The Musical retains a steady pace, although it does that
Jersey Boys style thing of blurting out much of the narrative in the form of direct addresses to the audience.
Treason the Musical will be streamed over a three-day window in February.
Penned by Ricky Allan and Kieran Lynn with direction by Hannah Chissick, musical supervision by Nick Pinchbeck and orchestration by Matthew Malone, the show is based on the Gunpowder plot.
Filmed live from Cadogan Hall, tickets will be ten pounds. Casting for the concert is to be revealed. Three tracks from the show have already been released, with track names such as Take Things Into Our Own Hands , The Day Elizabeth Died and Blind Faith .
Available on the show s website from 12 to14 February, the show is also gearing up for a full run later in the new year.
