The show is about Martin Luther. And it’s for everyone, from people who know their Penance from their Purgatory, as well as those who aren’t even sure which Luther we’re meant to be celebrating.

With a feeling of Horrible Histories and The Reduced Shakespeare Company, A Monk’s Tale helps the audience understand the unfamiliar medieval mindset, and what exactly Luther was trying to achieve with his 95 Theses (a discussion about Indulgences) and what he actually achieved (schism and Reformation). The show also acknowledges the role of Wycliffe, the Lollards and a number of other unsung characters.

The show is light, accessible and funny in tone, with lots of visual humour and jokes, but it does not shy away from the specifics of relics, indulgences, purgatory and the theological issues surrounding the question of how sinners can be reconciled with God. As the show unfolds, the audience should be entertained, informed and challenged. The aim is to encourage discussion, dialogue and further reading. It is suitable for all ages, young and old, Protestants, Catholics and skeptics alike.

“...moments of great hilarity... quite simply a show that just works.” **** Three Weeks, Edinburgh Fringe
