Killing Rasputin

Killing Rasputin
When we first meet Yusupov he is a transvestite performing in a St Petersburgh night-club trying to seduce Dmitri Romanov, nephew to the Tsar. His meeting with Rasputin, however signals a spiritual transformation but as Yusupov begins to abandon the trappings of his decadent life, Rasputin correspondingly descends into spiritual degeneration dragging the imperial family down with him. To save the Romanov dynasty and the Russia he loves Yusupov has only one option: to kill his erstwhile saviour.

Love Story

Synopsis:
"What can you say about a twenty-five year old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. the Beatles. and me." Inspired by Erich Segal's best-selling iconic novel, this is a brand new musical version of Love Story, also one of the most romantic films of all time. Oliver Barrett IV went to Harvard and Jenny Cavilleri to Radcliffe. He was rich, she was poor. He was sporty, she played music. But they fell in love. This is their story. their romance is as poignant as it is enriching, as sweet as it is intense. Love Story will win your heart. and it might just break it.
