Three daft tales – one great night out!

Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy are delighted to present this stage premiere: Written by former members of the Monty Python team, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, this classic BAFTA award-winning BBC TV comedy series (originally shown in the late 1970’s) has been exclusively adapted for the stage by David Pibworth. Three daft tales that take a gentle, comic dig at Boys Own adventure style stories and the “golden age of empire”, mixed with satire and much silliness!

- Murder at Moorstones Manor: A series of grisly murders spoil a family weekend. But who dunnit Well… everyone it seems!

- Across the Andes by Frog: Capt. Snetterton’s daring expedition to the mountains of Peru with a crack team of trained frogs!

- The Testing of Eric Olthwaite: The most boring man in Yorkshire falls into bad company and embarks on a daring life of crime!

A talented local cast will perform the show from Tuesday 7th to Saturday 11th July at the Chrysalis Theatre, Camphill, Milton Keynes. MK15 9JY. Performances at 7.30pm each day (plus a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday).

Tickets are just £8.50 each on the Tuesday, £9.50 (concessions £8.50) on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and £9.50 each on Saturday. Buy 10 and receive an extra seat free. To book call our box office on 0845 2410967.

See our website (www.mktoc.co.uk) for more information. MKTOC were last at the Chrysalis Theatre in July 2008 with a highly acclaimed sell out production of their stage adaptation of the 1955 Ealing comedy ‘The Lady Killers’.
