\"Denis<\/a>
\nDenis Lill is appearing is a new touring theatrical production: the comedy scarefest The Mummy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Also joining the cast of The Mummy<\/em> are Jason Durr (Heartbeat<\/em> ) and Susie Amy (Footballers’ Wives<\/em> ).<\/p>\n

Adapted (“very loosely”, say the producers) from Bram Stoker’s Jewel of the Seven Stars<\/em>  by Jack Milner, The Mummy<\/em>  is described as “a cross between The Woman in Black<\/em>,  The 39 Steps<\/em>  and The Morecambe and Wise Show<\/em> “. The production is directed by Joe Harmston (Associate Creative Director of The Belgrade Theatre, and Agatha Christie Theatre Company regular).<\/p>\n

From deepest, darkest, dangerous Egypt, a legendary curse is stirring back into life and we’re all going along for the outrageous and terrifying ride! This titillating tale of terror and intrigue spans thousands of years and will have you laughing, screaming, screaming with laughter and laughing with screaming in equal measure!<\/p>\n

A respectable legal practitioner, a beautiful dark-eyed Cornish heiress, a 5,000 year-old man seeking an ancient love and the Tomb of the mystical Queen Tera all clash spectacularly in hilarious circumstances.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lill plays two separate roles: ‘The Egyptologist’ in search of the key to eternal life, but one half of a horse with fellow actor Andrew Bone. “It’s really stretching my accomplishments,” jokes Lill. “It’s a unique experience.”<\/p>\n

The Mummy<\/em> premiered at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry on Friday 21 March, completing its initial run on Saturday 29 March, ahead of a nationwide tour<\/a>, which takes in theatres around the country throughout April, May and June.
