What is The Crown Jewels about?
It’s not a whodunnit, it’s a whomdunnit as aristocrats and members of the royal family are caught up in a right royal scandal! (it’s hard to imagine, isn’t it?)
Based on the most unbelievable crime in British history, the charming, yet erratic, Colonel Blood (that’s his actual name, even if it sounds like a headliner at Download Festival) gathers a band of misfits to perform the most audacious heist of all time: stealing the crown jewels. In. Plain. Sight.
Can Blood’s trio of misfits scarper with the famous bounty, or will their plans go up in smoke? After all Charles II can’t afford another reproach, and no King likes people handling their Crown Jewels (even Henery VIII didn't allow it in public)…
The creatives of The Crown Jewels.
Written by the BAFTA-nominee Simon Nye (The Durrells, Men Behaving Badly), and directed by multi-Olivier Award winner Sean Foley (Spitting Image: Idiots Assemble, Upstart Crow) the set and costume designer is Michael Taylor, lighting design is from Natasha Chivers, with sound design by Andy Graham and music by Grant Olding.
