Inky Quill Productions is a new company formed earlier this year, but, if this is anything to go by, it should be around for a long time to come.

Phil Williams has penned a very funny play. It is often silly, although in the best possible sense of that word.

It was almost like a series of sketches, linked by the story of a daft king faced with the threat of war and his rag-tag army’s march to take on the opposing forces.

A small but highly talented cast, who all took numerous parts, including that of “cactus”, showed deft comic timing and there were many, many memorable moments.

It was lovely to see that they seemed to enjoy the evening as much as the appreciative audience in this lovely venue.

Even director Rick Allden confessed in the programme notes that he had chuckled throughout rehearsals.

It was just a shame that this was only being staged for one night.
