Emmet Brown Productions Present:
...I'll Find You In The Morning Sun
30th January, Kelvedon Hatch Bunker, 19:30
You're away from home when the bombs start to fall. Far on the edge of London you don't know of a shelter. Staggering through the fields you suddenly come across a cottage; its door is ajar. Inside you find a large, underground bomb shelter, like nothing you have ever seen before.
Government conspiracies, war time heroics and spooky goings on surround a night of digging in, holding that upper lip firm and wondering what the hell is going on. Will you be a warden, a soldier, a munitions worker, a spy?
This is a show running from 19:30-7:30, 30th January (so all night). There are beds (more like military issue bunks) at the venue and there will be plenty of wartime food and blankets.
The venue is a breath-taking underground bunker; alongside you the actors encourage genuine reactions. Emmet Brown Productions is a Cambridge-based company who have performed sell-out shows in the gothic Round Church and at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Tickets £26; invite 2+ friends for the £5 group discount.

"My noble Christian queen, if I am slain, pray for me."
Travelling through two complementary strands in the life of King Arthur, the characters explore the limits of their romantic world, as ambition, family, honour and love eventually tear it apart. The disintegration of Arthur’s reign, Mordred’s rise to power and the division of loyalties in Camelot are set against a tense equilibrium between the rigid order of moral Christianity and the amoral chaos of ancient magic. The bitterness of the lives of Morgan le Fey and Mordred contrasts the hope offered by Camelot and the romantic beauty of the age.
Comedy, tragedy, devised and scripted, physical and deeply emotive, this adaptation of Malory's 'Le Morte D'Arthur' is harsh, beautiful and epic. The production will travel to the Edinburgh Fringe for a two week slot at one of the well-known Zoo venues.
"God does not preside over the duels of adulterers and the low-born, Sir Gawaine, the same way he won’t interfere if a holy man plays a game of dice. "

Comedy, tragedy, devised and scripted, physical and deeply emotive, this medieval play will be set in the atmospheric surroundings of the Round Church. This is one of the oldest buildings in Cambridge, tracing its history back to Norman architecture, and the intimate, ancient feel to the venue offers a really special experience for the actors and their audience to see this adaptation of Malory's 'Le Morte D'Arthur' in an ideal setting.
There will be an adapted Saturday morning family performance with Medieval workshops to follow. Tickets can be pre-booked in person at the church for all performances.
