Music to Murder By
David Pownall 's drama intertwines the lives of two composers from different periods,
Carlo Gesualdo and Philip Heseltine.
Gesualdo was an Italian prince and contemporary of Shakespeare while Heseltine, alias Peter Warlock , committed suicide in 1930. Using his supernatural powers Heseltine materialises in Gesualdo's ruined palace and summons the prince. Then, there's music to murder by.... The production includes music by Gesualdo, Peter Warlock and Stephen Boxer.
