Following on from their success with Into The Woods and A Little Night Music, Artform will soon be returning to The Broadway Studio Theatre in Catford, their resident theatre, for another Stephen Sondheim production, Assassins.

Assassins combines Sondheim’s signature beautiful music and stunning lyrics, with a story of the culture of celebrity and the dark side of the pursuit of the American Dream. It exposes the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate Presidents of the United States, exploring their thoughts, motives and madness.

Assassins is as timely now – perhaps even more so – as when it was first produced in New York in 1990. Hugely resonant in today’s celebrity-obsessed culture and disillusionment with politics and power, Assassins is brought to life by its desperate and passionate characters, intent on changing history.

Assassins is a bold, funny, disturbing, multiple Tony-award winning theatrical masterpiece not to be missed!

Assassins will be staged for five performances, from 10th to 14th May, with evening performances at 7.45pm Wednesday to Saturday, and a Sunday matinee at 3pm. Tickets are £16 and can be booked via artform.org.uk/tickets
