Christmas Vacation

Hit show of the Corpus Playroom and Edinburgh Fringe is transferring to London! Longer and better than ever, with exclusive new scenes debating hot issues like the nature of chivalry and the nature of cheese, you won't want to miss it!

Before there were knights, there were idiots who thought swinging a sword and being a hero were pretty much interchangeable.

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 inventing the concept of gravity (suck it da Vinci), spirals into a murder that demands an elaborate cover-up.
