Pick of the Week

THE METRO, THE GUARDIAN,  THE SUNDAY TIMES,  SUNDAY HERALD

The greatest crime since the crucifixion and… probably the worst career move in history!

 Locked together ‘Big Brother’ style for 365 days four knights find themselves in solitary confinement. What went on between them? We can only begin to imagine.

It’s the winter of 1170, and four knights approach Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. What should have been a simple royal arrest turns into a brutal killing - and one of the greatest historical crimes is committed. 

Four Nights in Knaresborough  while cultured, funny and frantic is also moving and brutal. Blending historical fact with modern language, this darkly comic drama incorporates the best ingredients of both a ‘Blackadder’ episode and a Tarantino movie - sexual energy, sleep deprivation, personal trauma, constipation and a nasty toothache!
