THE KNIGHT OF THE BURNING PESTLE

Enjoy a festive treat with a difference as Pauline McLynn and Phil Daniels return to fuel the mayhem in this critically-acclaimed madcap meta-romp. Set under the glorious candlelight of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the mince pies and mulled wine are on standby for a night of heckling, pratfalls and non-stop silliness in Francis Beaumont’s mashed-up, mixed-up screwball comedy.

Running not one but two plays within-the-play simultaneously, The Knight of the Burning Pestle combines wicked humour with charming songs and a cast of hilarious London characters in one of the earliest comedies to hit the English stage. After delighting audiences and critics alike, this riotous production returns for a strictly limited Christmas run.
