Steppe Brothers, The

Synopsis:
It is 1204.the time of the CrUSAdes. Roughly. Our singing siblings the Steppe Brothers are masquerading as ye olde medieval muscovite marauders in a variety act sure to raise a smile on the face of even the muddiest of sinners. Slings, arrows, rotten tomatoes and the occasional half brick of outrageous misfortune are hurled at the brothers as they find themselves on the road to Jerusalem. Only a fair damsel and a village in distress lie between the duo and salvation. So roll ye up and witness the trials and tribulations of our hapless heroes at the hands of assorted rogues, ruffians and Crusaders in this stirring story of survival against all odds.

Wheel, The

Synopsis:
Three soldiers accidentally fire a cannon into a palace, as you do, and are subsequently sent on a quest to defeat the Rebel Leader. Needless to say they are complete incompetents, but via a punt with rotten floorboards, the most depraved and peg-legged pirates of the seven seas and the massacre of most of the other characters in the play, they manage to save the day and end up back on guard duty.

Notes:
In 1994 the Wheel became the first show by A foreign theatre company ever to be toured to Albanian theatres
