TO KILL A MONK

TO KILL A MONK

The tenth original production from The Epstein Resident Theatre Company; Naughty Corner Productions.

Following the five star success of Raves R Us, Not the Horse and a decade of bold, award winning theatre, Naughty Corner Productions return with their first brand new original play since 2019.

Russia. 1916. Ish.

Grigori Rasputin is dead.

Wrapped in a heavy jute rug, five aristocrats drag his body through the frozen streets of St. Petersburg towards the River Nevka. Their mission is simple: dispose of the body, keep the secret, save Russia.

The problem?

Is he actually dead?

Part dark comedy, part political satire and part edge of your seat thriller, To Kill A Monk unravels one of history's most extraordinary true stories. Was Rasputin a miracle worker? A fraud? A manipulative opportunist? Or simply a man transformed into a monster by those who feared him most?

Featuring Naughty Corner Productions' signature blend of cinematic storytelling, razor sharp comedy, scorching needle drops and striking visual theatre, To Kill A Monk asks one unsettling question:

Who really creates a villain?

From the writer and director of Raves R Us and Not the Horse, this brand new production marks a major milestone as Naughty Corner Productions celebrate their tenth original production and their first original premiere as Resident Company at Liverpool's Epstein Theatre.

History remembers the murder.

This is the story behind the myth.
