From the company who have delighted
audiences for a decade with epic dramas, hilarious spoofs and witty
adaptations (including the 2007 Olivier Award winning ‘The 39 Steps’,
just opened on Broadway), the ultimate in swashbuckling Ruritanian
romance – ‘The Prisoner of Zenda’ – adapted by Nobby Dimon from the
Victorian novel by Anthony Hope.
British aristocrat, Rudolph Rassendell,
is distantly related to the royal family of Ruritania. When visiting for
the coronation of his cousin, the crown prince, he is discovered to be a
double of the drunken and dissolute monarch.
Rebellion and kidnapping, mistaken
identity and romance, swordplay and dashing good looks as our hero saves
the day and beautiful Princess Flavia is forced to choose between her
heart and duty.
“They say laughter is the best
medicine, and if so North Country Theatre performances should be
available on prescription.” Darlington and Stockton Times.
