Making A Killing

What's On, Music, Film & Theatre, April

The ropes are ready, the crowd is waiting, and the hangman has a new apprentice.

When Claus Kohler is apprenticed to Nuremberg’s master executioner, Frantz Schmidt, the two are drawn into a world where duty, morality and power collide. As the gallows fill and suspicion grows, both men must confront who they are – and which side of the rope they stand on.

Performed by just two actors, Making a Killing is a razor-sharp dark comedy about justice, corruption and survival, inspired by The Journal of Master Frantz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573–1617 - the extraordinary memoir of a man who killed for a living.

Age guidance: 14+
