Julian Clary

In his super stylish, sterilely beautiful Notting Hill kitchen, Michael (Julian Clary) is preparing dinner for two.

As he meticulously cuts the vegetables with almost a surgeon’s precision, he talks, with knife-like wit, about cases in history where the human body has continued to prove useful even after death.

As he slices and chops, one wonders who is coming for dinner and what the main course might be.

When Tim, his young guest arrives, they engage in a series of funny, thrilling but searingly dangerous mind games, as they try to unravel the reasons why they are both there.

Only when the games turn deadly do they catch a glimpse of the sadness and loss within each of them, that enables them to at least begin to connect with the truth, using whatever damaged shreds of humanity they still have left.

Le Grand Mort was written specially for Julian Clary by Stephen Clark, who died at the age of 55 in October 2016.

Julian Clary – 'Le Grand Mort will take me so far out of my comfort zone I may never return.'

Directed by Tony Award nominated Christopher Renshaw.
