Hunchback
A darkly romantic musical set amid the buttresses and shadows of Notre Dame Cathedral, Hunchback tells the tale of a tormented priest, a beautiful dancer and the deformed bell ringer Quasimodo, swept up in a vortex of lust, fear and the desire to control a destiny that will ultimately destroy them all. A surprising new take on Victor Hugo’s famous story.
Commissioned by The Citadel Theatre.
“It’s a theatrical engine with its own custom-blended high-test fuel… “

“…a startling combination of physical, visual and aural invention, and counterpoint of presentational pizzazz and dramatic intensity.”
– Liz Nicholls, The Edmonton Journal
