"Magna Carta: The
Musical Trial of King John" is a spin off of the
"Robin Hood" musical I adapted and directed
for the Cayman stage last year. "I was fascinated
with the evil Prince John and his mistress, the wicked
Elizabeth de Staynton - prioress of Kirkless(who murdered
Robin Hood), so I started doing research on them. I
found King John was not as evil as I thought and Elizabeth
de Staynton was one of the most fascinating and cunning
women in history!" The idea of staging a musical
based on their lives started germinating and "Magna
Carta" is the result. "I took the idea to
my friends Chuck and Barrie Quappe' - two very talented
musicians and with no persuasion at all they agreed
to write the music."
"I hope you find
"Magna Carta" a wonderful experience as I
have done."
- Colin Wilson
