An intimate story in search of the tomb of ancient Egypt's most beautiful woman told through an inventive meld of history, performance and song. From an English country castle, where the quest began, to the heat of Luxor, where dreams of a dig were realised, this film is a personal impression of one man in pursuit of the find of his life. Interviews and eye-witness material from four seasons in the Valley of the Kings are threaded with cabaret interludes from Sue Casson and the Brannick Academy. ‘Bold… slightly mad, with a creative brio that is very infectious’ (Storyville).Written and Directed by | Tom BlackmoreAdditional Material by | Nicholas Reeves, Paul Sussman and Laurence TaylorMusic written and performed by | Sue Casson and The Brannick AcademyDesigned by | Jason DenvirFilming by | Adrian Walker and Jonathan BirchAdditional Filming by | Davie Morcom and William QuarshieSound Recording by | Justin Underhill at the PremisesProduced by | Tom Blackmore and Laurence Taylorwww.englishcabaret.co.ukwww.facebook.com/EnglishCabaret Watch Trailer
