Prepare to discover the crazy truth behind Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder plot!

King James I and his transvestite secret agent Lady Domina are organising the most wicked conspiracy in the history of England…

Knowing how unpopular he is with his subjects, the stakes are high for the flamboyant King of England to eliminate the Lords who oppose his extravagant rule. He entrusts the mastermind transvestite Lady Domina to recruit not only the outlaw Guy Fawkes but also a lesbian assassin maid and a gay-for-pay butler to entrap his most notorious enemy, Lord Mammon. Lord and Lady Mammon are invited to Domina’s house to a sleep-over that they will never forget…

With the assistance of Hootie Van Ficken, the cunning German courtesan, November 5^th 1605 becomes the explosive night that has been etched onto the English calendar to this very day…

ABOUT THE CREATORS OF THE SHOW:

“The ending praises the prodigious talent of Robert B Suda. Even after the many twists and turns it surprises the audience, whose attention is not let to wander for a second.”

– antropos.hu (Regina Fekete) on MoNOporno, or Miss Julie

“Robert B Suda has staged a disco-era Greek Tragedy in the Belvárosi Theatre… and has this antique tragedy played in a most pleasing manner.”

– Népszava on CoverShow – The Musical (Tamas Tarjan)

“Sparkling dialogue is the trademark of Jason Charles, whose previous play ‘Steam’ played to sold-out houses and rave reviews.”

– My Cultural Life on Counterfeit Skin

“Attila Galambos, who translated the play, has contributed much to its atmosphere with ingenious bon mots and hilarious rhymes..."

– Kritika (Krisztina Szepesi) on the Hungarian version of Mel Brooks’ The Producers

“He was the Composer of the Best Song 2007 competition announced by the University of Theatre and Film, Budapest. He received first prize at the Competition of Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in 2008 and 2009. In January 2009 he won the New Hungarian Music Forum Composition Competition (UMZF2009)”
