Keep the whole family entertained with open-air comedy in Dorchester.

An outdoor re-telling of the legend of King Arthur is coming to Maumbury Rings on Sunday, August 1.

Arthur - The Story of a King, by The Last Baguette, explores the classic legend of King Arthur in a playful, funny, contemporary and thought-provoking manner. It is a fun family show suitable for ages five and over.

Mark Tattersall, artistic director of Dorchester Arts, said: "This is a story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist, magic and an amplified lute is a fun and farcical adventure.

"With tap dancing horses, baguette fights and mediocre magic, it is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics."

The Lats Baguette believes in the power of physical comedy and silliness to talk about important issues of our times. The company was formed from a shared love of theatre, bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Gaulier and Lecoq schools in 2009. They have performed in the UK, France, Switzerland and Canada.

Tickets are £11, £9 for members of Dorchester Arts, under 18s or those on low income or £36 for a family of four with a maximum of two adults. They are available at home page.
