A 12-year-old boy claims he’s a monstrous Dark Lord, banished from his magical dimension by a white wizard arch enemy. Placed with foster parents, he hunts for the portal to his homeworld while combating the horrors of middle school.

Children’s book Dark Lord: The Teenage Years is brought to life on stage in a new musical adaptation from Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe, the creators of Heathers the Musical.

Dark Lord tells the story of a 12-year-old boy who wakes up in a parking lot one day and tries to tell everyone he is in fact a terrifying and powerful Dark Lord who has been imprisoned in the body of a tween and banished to the human dimension by his enemy the White Wizard.

But well-meaning adults instead mishear Dark Lord as Dirk Lloyd and assume the poor boy has been abandoned: so they place him with a foster family and enroll him in middle school, where he must learn to overcome new challenges. Namely, homework and bullies. But soon, Lloyd’s powers begin to emerge, testing him and those around him.

Will Dirk return to his home world seeking bloody vengeance, or learn to value human life?
