The Quickener (2013)

With 100% of the dialogue spoken in rap and poetic verse, 'The Quickener' is set in 1348 in a town in Mercia. A cathedral dean refuses to pay stonemason Osbert for months of work. Osbert has no way of paying back his unforgiving moneylender. Osbert and his wife Tipharah flee the city, but later return in the dead of night to defiantly hoist one of their grotesques, which the dean disapproved of, up onto the cathedral. Out of the darkness appears the murderous moneylender and his henchmen demanding money. Doom and failure seem certain.
