Knightmare Live - Edinburgh - August 2013
-
I notice some of the old guard have spotted this already but in case anyone has missed it. It appears that Knightmare is coming to the theatre...
-
Oh, I would SO love to go and see that!
I hope it gets posted online somewhere afterwards!

Thank you for the link, Andy. I've long thought that interactive Knightmare-style questing would be great at the Edinburgh Festival. I only hope that the organisers have sorted out any copyright issues in advance. Perhaps the Scotland-based Knightmare actors, i.e. Alec Westwood (Folly) and Audrey Jenkinson (Gretel), will drop by.
This won't be the first time that Knightmare has been turned treading the path into treading the boards. David Learner adapted the fifth Knightmare book (The Forbidden Gate) {for the stage}, and he and Hugo Myatt performed in it. Disappointingly, we don't know all that much about this production and how the interactive element worked.

Cliff Barry has responded to this on Twitter. Maybe they could get him involved while he's there?!

The website is now up and running at:

The Knightmare Facebook page's recent status update about Knightmare Live appears to be missing a word or two, leaving something to the imagination.
The word 'presents' at the start of the status update could lead people to believe that Knightmare Live is affiliated to Knightmare.com, or to Knightmare itself, i.e. the makers of the TV series. As far as I know, neither is true (much as we support them!).
-
With regards to future status updates on the Knightmare Facebook page, I'm guessing that "recommends" would be more appropriate than "presents" should the need for such terminology arise once again.
As for wording and grammar, each status update is thoroughly double checked before being posted live (it will be seen by thousands, after all), but I guess there'll always be one or two that will still slip through the net....

Would love to see this, but don't think I'd be able to go to the Edinburgh Festival.
-
I think I have an offer of a free ticket somewhere
But I'll be going anyway, since I'll be up in Edinburgh at the time.
-
Indeed.
And with me apparently having been only 8 when I won, maybe people will be more forgiving about the shortcut.
Even though it seems to have also aged me by a year

I have, of course, sent a correction to the Scotsman.

Hi guys,
Thought I'd give you an update as to how things are progressing here in Edinburgh.
Knightmare fever has hit the comedy community. Geeky stand-ups are begging me for the chance to play the show (which is perfect as it's their enthusiasm that translates so well to the audience).
We've had a few palid reviews (to be expected) but we've also had some marvelous ones;
4 stars from
Scotsman
Independent
Den of Geek
Broadway Baby
Informed Edinburgh
And more on the way.
We've had to add an extra show and are selling out consistently... Also I met Ted from scrubs, he really wants to see it!
On Sep 27th we're taking the show to the Bloomsbury Theatre (Eek, it's massive!) and tickets can be found here;

Thanks to everyone who came to the preview and for the amazing write up you did. The show's become a lot more slick and we've replaced the IOU's with real props. Hope to see you all again soon

Hi Paul
It's great to hear Knightmare Live is going so well and that your getting good reviews! Also good to hear you've been selling out shows and have had to add an extra one at the Bloomsbury Theatre! Good luck for this show.
Keep up the good work and I really hope you can take it on tour one day, that would be cool!
