In a time long ago and land far away, a brave knight is summoned to bring life back to the dying king. Is he dead? Maybe. Are his three evil advisors propping him up and carrying him around so that they may live the good life of creamed corn and gravy? It’s possible.

The one thing that is certain is that the fate of the kingdom rests in the hands of the brave knight, their squire, their crazy friend Death and the enchanting princess.

Join Pummel Squad and a cast of 25 actors as they turn fortyfivedownstairs into the King’s banquet hall, for a night of mayhem and revelry that’ll send the year packing with a laugh.
