Hamilton. Six. Cats. All musicals based on historical events.
Four struggling ‘Theatre In Education’ actors decide to cash in on this trend and stage a musical retelling of histories weirdest phenomenon, “The Dance Plague of 1518”.
The only catch: they know nothing about “The Dance Plague of 1518".
Their ‘educational’ show tells the story of Princess Frau, who escapes the confines of her castle to Strasbourg—a depressing little village in need of a bath. She takes it upon herself to ignite a spark within the community, but unknowingly ignites the infamous ‘Dance Fever’—a deadly disco disease beyond anyone’s control.
Is a higher power at play? Will her father, King Francis, track her down? Is the Pope catholic?
All will be revealed in the first disastrous musical from Tickel & Trotman.
