Eight characters in medieval costumes pose against a parchment-coloured backdrop. At centre, a knight in shining steel armour and blue cloak holds a sword beside a nobleman in a red velvet robe with gold trim. To the left stand three peasants: a man in a beige cap and tunic, a laughing man in green, and a woman with auburn hair in a tan blouse. To the right, a scowling man in rough beige cloth, a solemn woman in brown, and behind them a hooded monk with hands clasped in prayer.
Seven characters stand across the stage facing the audience. At centre, a knight in polished steel armour faces a nobleman in a red and gold robe, while peasants in plain brown and beige garments look on from both sides. The set features wooden benches, long tables, a raised platform with steps, and timber doors suggesting a rustic inn. The audience is visible in shadow at the bottom of the image, watching the ensemble mid-scene.
A knight in shining steel armour stands on a raised platform, pointing and shouting commandingly toward three characters below. In front of him, a man in a white shirt and black trousers looks uneasy, a woman in a brown dress and apron turns in alarm, and a man in a green tunic yells back from the side. The wooden set behind them resembles a rustic tavern interior.

A Kingdom of Fools

Following a sell-out Sydney run, the medieval mayhem continues in Adelaide!

On royal orders, Sir William Drakeford and his bumbling knight arrive to transform the village of Gotham into King John’s new countryside retreat. The locals must act fast to stop them. With little time and even less sense, they hatch a plan to keep the royal intrusion at bay.

Set in a raucous alehouse where gossip flows and panic reigns this quick-witted farce spirals gloriously out of control. Imagine The Play That Goes Wrong colliding with Monty Python in a medieval tavern: a love letter to mischief, rebellion, and the idea that wisdom sometimes wears a very silly face.

“I thought it was brilliant… everyone was amazing… it was funny, clever… it was just great.” — Amanda Keller, Australian TV & radio personality.
