Don Quixote, Summer 2023
Alonso Quexana (or was it Quijano?) has a big problem. He reads too many books! Like all who indulge in this dangerous practice he has lost his mind, changed his name and now fancies himself a Knight Errant, to the great consternation of his family, tenants, neighbours, peasants, lovers, innkeepers, traders, and the odd travelling noble. Presenting the last of the great Knights, (along with his loyal squire Sancho,) sometimes loathed, sometimes tolerated, sometimes scorned, but never ignored, these are the adventures of Don Quixote de La Mancha.

The Prisoner of Zenda, Summer 2022
Wastrel, gadabout and man about town, Rudolf Rassendyll, decides to have one last hurrah before (shudder) taking a proper job. A jaunt to the Eastern European kingdom of Ruritania to take in the coronation of their new King, Rudolf Elphberg, seems just the ticket (especially as family legend insists that one of his ancestors was scandalously very familiar with the one of the previous Kings!) Arriving in time for the coronation everything is prepared and several people even mistake Rudolf for their soon to be monarch, but things quickly take a serious turn when the real King is kidnapped in the first stage of a coup. All seems doomed...unless someone who looks the part could step in…
