Four Nights in Knaresborough

Monday 21st - Saturday 26th March at 7.30.p.m.

by Paul Webb, directed by Jan Townend

On Christmas Day 1170 four knights left Henry II's household in Normandy and travelled to Canterbury. In the early evening of 29 December they murdered the Archbishop, Thomas Becket - the greatest crime after the Crucifixion and probably the worst career move in history. Four crazy, licentious and powerful killers find themselves abandoned and alone with only the four walls of Knaresborough Castle to protect them from the wrath of the nation. Paul Webb’s historical drama for the Tarantino generation has all the sexual energy, personal traumas and quick humour of an epic lads' night out, laced with the unsettling knowledge that sometimes you have to pay the price for what you’ve done.

King Arthur - A Pantomime Adventure in Camelot

by Paul Reakes Directed by Alan Roberts

This year we find ourselves in the Golden Age of Chivalry - King Arthur’s England! It’s a time of noble deeds and fiery dragons, witches and sorcerers, good versus evil, knights, banquets, gallant steeds - and women in ponds distributing swords!

Well, almost, except that Arthur is getting on a bit, and prefers a good chuckle to a good battle!

All the legendary characters are here - on the Goodies' side there's Merlin the Wizard the beautiful Guinevere and Sir Lancelot, a noble and brave Knight of the Round Table.

Just waiting for your boos and hisses are Morgana, pretender in chief to the throne and boss of a strange assortment of dancing goblins ghouls and other nasty creatures, including her son Mordred, who will stop at nothing to defeat Lancelot in battle

Watch out for the usual assortment of hairy creatures and dragons as the evil Morgana arrives at Arthur's court and proceeds to cast her wicked spells.

Will she succeed? Join the Knights of the Round Table, not to mention the evil Morgana and a few hairy creatures for this year’s spectacular festive frolic!

The Caucasian Chalk Circle

Thursday 28th -Saturday 30th October at 7.00.p.m

by Bertolt Brecht   Translated by Alistair Beaton    Directed by Jan Townend

The city burns in the heat of civil war and a servant girl sacrifices everything to protect an abandoned child. But when peace is finally restored, the boy’s mother comes to claim him. Calling upon the ancient tradition of the Chalk Circle, a comical judge sets about resolving the dispute. But in a culture of corruption and deception, who wins? Our best young actors present Brecht’s classic tale of justice, (or the lack of it) and the challenges to our morality in the modern world.
