FOLLOWING a wide range of successful classic and contemporary productions over the past 17 years, this August Storm on the Lawn is set to stage its 18th and final show, The Teacup Poisoner, an original musical by Mark Powell and Ben Occhipinti.
Performances will take place from Wednesday, August 19 to Saturday, August 22 in the atmospheric outdoor setting of the 18th century Ball Court, in the grounds of Prior Park College, Bath.
Set in the 1960s, The Teacup Poisoner is a thriller based on a true story about 14-year-old Graham Young, a compelling and obsessive anti-hero whose crimes escaped detection for years. In 1995, the story was made into an acclaimed film, The Young Poisoner’s Handbook. Storm on the Lawn’s brand new production features a company of 48 teenagers who have worked with a professional team to bring this new musical to the stage. Brimming with infectious musical numbers and heart-stopping spectacle, this outdoor performance is guaranteed to chill and thrill in equal measure.
