"Killing dragons doesn't seem like a strong foundation for a healthy relationship. What, you slay something for a damsel and the two of you become instantly compatible?"
In this original quirky comedy, a group of medieval squires, led by dreamer Lance, grapple with the realities of their lowly existence. When a new squire, Phil, arrives, the group's mundane lives take an unexpected turn. Little do they know that Phil is short for Philippa, and she is running from a past that just might catch up to her.
While Phil tries to hide her identity from what is rapidly becoming the world's most awkward love triangle, the squires get to work training for an upcoming tournament and engage in the classic debate of magic v. science. A series of disparate events, including speedrunning and inventing the concept of gravity, spirals into a murder that demands an elaborate cover-up.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
