The Royal Hunt of the Sun
If I live this next year I'm going to get a name that won't ever be forgotten.
Intent on the conquest of Peru, Spanish general Francisco Pizarro and his band of would-be soldiers set sail for a fabled land where gold is as common as wood. Spurred on by the thought of riches beyond their wildest dreams, the men struggle through dense jungles and scale frozen peaks, watched all the while by the God-King of the Incas, Atahuallpa Capac, son of the sun.
From the author of Equus and Amadeus comes the story of a group of treasure-hunters who held a knife to the throat of one man, and brought an entire empire to its knees.
With ambitious staging and a bold new score, University of Oxford Student Company, Acorn Productions vividly brings to life the clash of two cultures, in a dazzling new production of Peter Shaffer's epic play of adventure, daring and spectacle.
