TEN PLAGUES is presented here in a special package including an all new studio recording of the complete work as well as a DVD of the live stage show filmed at the historic Wilton's Music Hall in East London. TEN PLAGUES tells the intense story of one man's survival through the great plague of London in 1665 whilst drawing poetic parallels to more modern epidemics.

He tries to hold on to his humanity despite mourning, grief, despair and the physical isolation that the plague necessitates.
