The Project

The Professor King Chronicles is a two-part adaptation of the Steampunk musicals 'Alchemy' and 'King’s Ransom' written and composed by Clive Nolan. Set in a quasi-Victorian world of heroes, villains, romance and the supernatural, they follow the exploits of Professor Samuel King and his trusted cohorts Eva, a beautiful tribal warrior, and William, a resourceful ex-thief.

In 'Alchemy', our brave band tackle the evil Henry Jagman who dreams of conquering death itself - and does not care who he has to kill to achieve it.

Along the way, William falls for the alluring Amelia Darvas, who holds vital information key to their success. But their happiness is cut tragically short when Amelia dies at the hands of Jagman’s henchmen. However their love transcends death itself as the story reaches its dramatic climax.

Set several years after 'Alchemy', 'King’s Ransom' pitches the Professor against a new enemy, Colonel Scovil, who is plotting to kill the Prime Minister and replace him with one of his own.

The Professor and his tribe must call upon help from beyond the grave to save the world from Colonel Scovil. They trade blades with new nemeses including Rosa, a beautiful yet mute assassin, before discovering a traitor in their midst leading to the kidnapping of Eva and a duel to the death.

Taken together, 'Alchemy' and 'King’s Ransom' will be cinematic musical extravaganzas, offering audiences a powerful, musical experience fused with glorious locations and an equal peppering of romance  and action.
