Arthur one.jpeg

a fun and farcical family adventure

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. 

Written by Tiff Woodsmith 

Directed by John Nicholson
Designed by Bronia Housman with original composition by Aisha Ali
Choreography by Lucy Thynne

Careful is supported using public funding by Arts Council England in collaboration with Kingston University Nursing dept.
