Anyone ever written a Knightmare play before?
-
It might generate some new interest for the show if someone did. Imagine: A stage with decent costumes and lighting, following a quest made up of some of the best bits of Knightmare.
Example of intro scene (parody of Series 8 intro):
(Lord Fear and the bunch are shouting at each other)
LF: Right! Quiet! Quiet you bunch of dolts! QUIET!!!!
(All goes quiet)
LF: Thank you. You should always be quiet when we've got company. (turns to audience) I've been listening to these dolts since 1994. 1994! Can you imagine the headache I've got?
(goes on...)

that would be quite amazing! I'd love it! however, i fear those who loved knightmare are the only ones who would share my feelings...wouold still be cool to write though..
just as some thoughts (aint much good at words but visualisations...aint too bad)
you could have the three advisors sit in a sort of balconey high on stage so that they can always be seen by the audience and see the stage.
OR POSSIBLY!
an interactive play! you the audience are the advisors and can have handsets (like those used in who wants to be a millionaire) to choose the path of the dungeoneer! the advisors could just help with the "where am i?" or maybe not even have em..i dunno. i like the idea though.

well, you could have several dungeoneers and they just have to start again. they get 1.5 - 2 hours for their cash regardless of wether they see lord fear 0 times because they dont make it out of the first room....or 4 because they're brilliant and get all four quest objects

James Fenton must be crying his eyes out somewhere...

I find that Knightmare is full of HUUUGE potential for live audience participation with regards to it's story/game structure.
'Knightmare: LIVE - Feel the terror, live the adventure.'
Kinda sounds like a good idea, actually...

(I wrote a topic about this in the BBK forum)
Basic Story:
The dungeon went absolutely barmy after the end of series 8 because the short cut through level 2 compromised it's foundations. As such, it's now trapped in a self contained reverse time bubble which relocates itself every time it returns to the start.
The impression given to the audience is that they are the first humans they have seen in ages and only they can help the dungeon reform, by grabbing the one quest object which has never been achieved: the Cup That Heals, so it can heal the dungeon.
However, the repeating time means Lord Fear can have as many dungeoneers as he wants to slaughter, and so he's trying to stop the dungeoneers reaching the cup.
The twist in the tale is that this time XD when the dungeon reaches it's older days, Modgred jumps onto the time bubble and deposes Lord Fear! LF decides to comprimise on his principles and gives the team a spell which they can use to DEFINITELY return safely, if they wish, or they can choose between two spells to defeat Modgred and retrieve the cup (Season 4, team 1 anybody?).
Meanwhile, there's a side plot about Pickle losing his voice in a bet (literally) and he causes all kinds of havoc looking for it.
Characters:
(dungeoneers, who are actually actors)
Treguard
Majilda
Pickle
Brother Olaf and Brother Mace
Folly and Motley
Lord Fear
Lissard
Brollachan (possessed the guy who was looking for him, still dumb)
Mogdred
The Dreadnought
Goblins and things
Some wall monsters

no, i dont think the life force should. depending on the speed of dungeoneers it may kill them and no team i remember ever REALLY died from lack of food...just stupidity in not getting some. i mean, sure if they have to "opposite" a poisen or somthing then have the clock there to show the danger but the whole life force clock only takes about two minutes (the download of it) and pieces do come off very fast on knightmare itself...etc

Instead of having Dungeoneer-actors, why not get people to apply to part of the show as the dungeoneers, and have them briefed on such things as Show mechanics, the concept, and other related areas.
The great thing about Knightmare originally was that the dungeoneer's were just average kids - unscripted, and mainly clueless about their dungeon habitat.
If you can find a way to replicate that, then it'd be a winner, for sure...
