EGYPTOMANIA!
A New Musical
Book, Music & Lyrics By
Matthew Shaker
It was nearly 100 years ago, in 1922, when the most astounding archaeological find in history was discovered. The glittering tomb of King Tutankhamen, ‘The Boy King’ was beyond belief.
The circumstances that brought Tutankhamen
to this overcrowded tomb have been surrounded by mystery and intrigue.
It would take the dedication and unwavering perseverance of Archaeologist Howard Carter,
his financial benefactor, Lord Carnarvon and
Carnarvon’s adventuresome daughter, Lady Evelyn,
to keep the dream alive.
When the discovery was revealed, a fever of excitement raced across every continent. From art and fashion to theater and architecture. This zeal for all things from the glory of ancient Egypt would forever be known as,
‘EGYPTOMANIA!’
"Imagine Me With You"
Archaeologist, Howard Carter had one mistress in his life-The sands of Egypt.
Carnarvon’s beautiful and spirited daughter, Lady Evelyn found the hunt for ancient wonders simply exhilarating.
Far from the class divisions and societal manners back home in England, Evelyn began a friendship with the strong willed Carter.
A relationship was in the works. But what could it be?
Carter was a loner, but his heart was moved. Carnarvon could pull funding on all digs if Carter got too close to his daughter.
