PETER FULLER conducts you on a guided tour of Kensal Green Cemetery, with particular reference to its starring role in the 1973 Vincent Price movie, 'Theatre of Blood'. This cult horror classic tells of the life, death - and resurrection – of Shakespearean tragic actor Edward Lionheart.
Learn about the terrible revenge that Lionheart wreaked on the London critics who gave snooty reviews to his performances of the Bard's works. Visit Lionheart's memorial from the film, as well as the resting place of one of the doomed critics, and discover how Vincent Price found love among the tombstones.
This tour starts at 11:00 am and the first meeting point will be the Dissenters' Chapel.
ABOUT THE FILM
Vincent Price declared 1973's Theatre of Blood as his personal favourite of his many horror films, and it's plain to see to why: Price was born to play Edward Lionheart. A much-maligned classical actor, Lionheart is driven to perform a series of elaborate murders in which eight critics who humiliated him are dispatched in manners inspired by Shakespeare’s plays. As bloody as the climax of Hamlet, but mostly played for laughs, Theatre of Blood features Price at his hammy best and a colourful cast of victims who include Robert Morley, Jack Hawkins, Ian Hendry, Diana Dors, and Coral Browne (who would become the third Mrs Price).
