AXEMAN: A Bloody New Musical tells the story of the infamous Axeman of New Orleans, a serial killer who terrorised New Orleans in 1918 and 1919.
We follow Jacob Clifton, a young and up-coming reporter, Frank ‘Swamp Jaw’ Montange, a weather and tired Chief Detective, Marguerite ‘Maggie Duval’, a streetwise prostitute, Anna-Marie Schumann, an expecting mother and victim of The Axeman, and ‘The Neighbours’ , the Italian grocers of New Orleans, as they struggle through the impact of the murders and investigation to catch The Axeman.
It is written by siblings Joshua Harrison and Amy Relf, and composed by Jonah Eskander and Ziv Pinco.
