About

King Arthur – a fun and farcical family adventure
by The Last Baguette

Directed by John Nicholson and written by Tiff Woodsmith.

Somewhere in Britain, a long time ago, a very, very, very long time ago. So long ago that nobody quite knows whether it happened or not. Or where it happened or not.

A boy pulled a sword from a stone and became King. A story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist and magic.

This fun and farcical adventure is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics. And some silly jokes…

The Last Baguette makes entertaining, accessible and eccentric work for family audiences and is company in residence at Pound Arts, Corsham. The company was formed from a shared love of theatre, bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Philippe Gaulier and Jacques Lecoq schools.

"The show was a real joy…delicious twinkle-in-the-eye humour to engage, entertain and delight people of all ages." Richard Wolfenden-Brown, Director at The Plough Arts Centre

This is an outdoor performance taking place in The Pound Arts Centre car park. Please bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on and make sure to dress for the weather on the day!
