Knightmare of a show on the way to Halesowen

Audience members will also get the chance to don the helmet of justice and take on all the dungeon has to throw at them.

Knightmare Live is coming to Cornbow Hall on Friday, May 1, with early bird £10 tickets on sale now and available until the end of September.

The original show, which involved a team of four children given the task of traversing a medieval environment as they attempted to complete a quest and exit a dungeon, aired on ITV for seven years between 1987 to 1994 and has held cult status among its fans ever since.

Promoter Wayne Beese, who is bringing the live show to the Black Country under his Funny Beeseness banner, said it was one not to be missed.

He said: "I was a massive fan of Knightmare as a kid. I remember rushing home from school on Friday afternoons to make sure I was back in time to watch it just after 4.30pm. I always used to hate it when the bell tolled at 5.10pm and time froze for another week until the next episode.

“We have put the show on at Brierley Hill Civic a couple of times and it goes down a storm – it's a superb and hilarious show. If you loved Knightmare, you will absolutely love this. Even if it was before your time, there is still enough there to make it a hugely enjoyable and original experience. Especially if you like Game of Thrones and that sort of fantasy genre."
