Synopsis:

​

A madcap medieval comedy at times bordering on farce where everyone loves somebody and nobody gets exactly what they want. There are wizards, knights, damsels in distress, wicked sorceresses and evil assistants. Men were men, women were women and a knight couldn't get his armour off ! Life revolved around a "Hey, Nonny Nonny", complicated by romance, intrigue and plain dirty deeds.

A fun theatre restaurant style show with dancing, singing and a twist to the plot.
