Knights, Camera, Action! (Trinity, 2023)

kca poster

First | Previous | Latest

When an ethereal forest spirit enlists a hapless theatre troupe to seek out the Holy Grail, it initially seems too good to be true - a chance to prove themselves as heroes, save an endangered forest, and get their hands on an infinite supply of chocolatey goodness? What a steal!

But who are the mysteriously monosyllabic knights blocking their path at every turn? Is the Wicked Witch of the Woods really all she claims to be? And can freelance villainy ever renounce its predestined future in favour of forging its own path? Answers (not necessarily to these questions, but, y’know, just general answers) can only be found in one place - Act 2 of OULES’s Trinity term play, “Knights, Camera, Action!”

But, uh… Please come to Act 1 as well. You might miss a lot of important context if you don’t.
