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
