Production photos have been released of Thom Southerland's European premiere of Death Takes a Holiday which is currently running at the Charing Cross Theatre in central London.

Written by Peter Stone and Thomas Meehan with a score by Maury Yeston, the musical is set in Northern Italy, shortly after World War One where Death disguises himself as a handsome young prince to try to understand why life is so precious and death so feared. But when he unexpectedly falls in love with a newly engaged young woman, this mysterious stranger discovers that love may in fact be stronger than death.

Featuring design by Morgan Large with costumes by Jonathan Lipman, lighting design by Matt Daw and musical direction by Dean Austin, the production stars Mark Inscoe, Zoë Doano, Chris Peluso, Kathryn Akin, Anthony Cable, Trudi Camilleri, Ken Christiansen, Scarlett Courtney, Sophie-May Feek, James Gant, Matthew McDonald, Gay Soper, Ashley Stillburn, Samuel Thomas and Helen Turner.

Death Takes a Holiday tickets are now on sale to 4 March 2017.
