Bold, biting, and impossible to ignore, the play takes inspiration from The Journal of Master Frantz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573–1617. A remarkable historical record that lays bare the humanity and contradictions of a man who killed for a living.

“Two actors. One stage. A dark comedy that hits hard and never lets go. Expertly written, brilliantly performed. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.” – Audience member
“We were so impressed by the acting, as the turning from one well defined character into another, almost on a pinhead, was so good. The story line had resonance with today’s world too, the silencing of those who don’t agree with powerful men is a sadly familiar theme.” – Audience member
