New comedy 'King Arthur' at Salisbury Playhouse

Wednesday, 13 March 2024 00:00

One of the UK's leading touring physical comedy theatre companies is bringing its brand new laugh-out-loud show, King Arthur, to Salisbury.

Weekend Notes has hailed the show as “a slapstick romp crammed with knockabout fun and innuendo”. It is at Salisbury's Playhouse from tomorrow (Thursday, March 14th) until Saturday, March 16th.

What to expect:

Camelot is in trouble. King Arthur knows that if he doesn’t turn things around, this civilisation will be forgotten, and be known as nothing more than a rather dull time in British history. But when three hapless squires approach him about changing that legacy... a legend is born.

The UK theatre’s best comedy writers and directors, John Nicholson (Peepolykus) and award-winning funny men Le Navet Bete (The Three Musketeers, Treasure Island, Dracula: The Bloody Truth), have teamed up to bring a brand-new comedy for the whole family.

Al Dunn, Co-Founder of Le Navet Bete said “Making accessible work has been at the centre of our ethos right from the very beginning. It’s our mission to create and tour hilarious, physical and totally accessible comedy theatre using creative and engaging storytelling for absolutely everyone from four to one hundred and four! We can’t wait to share the Story of King Arthur to audiences across the UK this year in true ridiculously outrageous Le Navet Bete Style, placing physical theatre, fooling and slapstick at the heart of every show”
