Kingmakers – writer, director

21:30, Wed 4th – Sat 7th February 2026 at Corpus Playroom

It is the rather historically inaccurate “Medieval period” and twin princes Alexander and Leonard have never known who is the oldest and therefore has the right to be King. Their mother died shortly after their birth and their father was too busy watching the Medieval football highlights to notice who was born first. Supposed to tell them who he thinks should succeed him, the King dies before he gets his word out, leaving the battle for the crown wide open for these two rather incompetent brothers and their far more competent, cunning and witty wives, Alicent and Lorraine. Plots, schemes, slapstick fights, verbal battles, outrageous insults and a devious accomplice appear in this ridiculous 24 hour race for the throne.

A new comedy about sibling rivalry, a struggle for power and the women behind it, the true 'kingmakers'.
