World premiere in Silkeborg

A journey back to medieval England.
At the heart of the story is the construction of a magnificent cathedral in the fictional English town of Kingsbridge. Intrigue, ambition and love are woven together as you closely follow the intense fates of four main characters. Prior Philip, the show's central character, is played by award-winning Danish musical theatre performer Lars Mølsted. The show is a journey back to medieval England, where kings and bishops rule with a heavy hand, and where life is characterised by poverty, power struggles and dreams of a better future.
