King Arthur & the Holy Fail brings an epic tale of Arthurian adventure and medieval mayhem to Painswick Rococo Garden, as Three Inch Fools present a lively open-air performance packed with comedy, chaos and legendary quests.
Set in a land of daring quests, dashing knights and endless jousting, the story follows a would-be hero named Arthur, who is unexpectedly thrown into the quest of a lifetime after Camelot is rocked by a tragic and frankly improbable incident involving a large table of an undisclosed shape.
As fate refuses to cooperate, Arthur must battle through blistering cold and scorching fire to save his beloved realm. Full of humour, fast-paced storytelling and theatrical mayhem, this outdoor production promises a legendary evening of entertainment in the beautiful surroundings of Painswick Rococo Garden.
