A Kingdom of Fools

Following its sold-out Sydney season in 2025, the medieval mayhem returns! A Kingdom of Fools is a one-act, 90-minute comedy that plunges knights, nobles, and peasants into a hilariously chaotic struggle for control of a medieval tavern. Under orders from King John, nobleman Sir William Drakeford and his ever-blundering knight arrive in a remote village determined to bring it under royal control. Unfortunately for them, the locals have other ideas and embark on a campaign of increasingly absurd resistance. Combining the spectacle of a richly detailed medieval world with non-stop laughs, A Kingdom of Fools is a celebration of ordinary people standing up to power in the most unexpected ways.
 This is an evening of comedy not to be missed! Raise a tankard, join the fools, and prepare to laugh yourself senseless. “A fun and uproarious piece of period comedy.” — See Do Eat Review “Comedy arrives in waves.” — Australian Arts Review “I thought it was brilliant… everyone was amazing… it was funny, clever… it was just great.” — Amanda Keller, Australian TV & radio personality
