With music by Stephen Sondheim and Book by John Weidman, Assassins focuses on the thirteen people have tried to kill the president of the United States. Four have succeeded. These murderers and would-be murderers are generally dismissed as maniacs and misfits who have little in common with each other, and nothing in common with the rest of us. Assassins suggests otherwise…
Assassins is directed by Jamie Lloyd with set and costume designs by Soutra Gilmour.
Assassins runs at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 21 November 2014 – 7 March 2015.
