Feast your eyes on these brand-new production photos from A Knight's Tale that are serving courtly drama, high-stakes jousting, and just the right splash of silliness. This musical makeover of the cult 2001 film charged into the Manchester Opera House this April and is a total riot!

Directed by Rachel Kavanagh, with choreography from the Olivier-winning Matt Cole, and a script adapted by comedy genius Brona C. Titley, A Knight's Tale takes the original underdog story and turns the volume way up.

What's it all about?

Medieval sports movie meets rom-com with the story of William Thatcher, a low-born squire who gatecrashes the world of knights and nobles by entering the jousting circuit in disguise. With a trusty crew (including a blacksmith who could bench press a broadsword and Geoffrey Chaucer in full hype-man mode), William fakes it till he makes it all while falling in love and clashing with the brooding, black-clad Count Adhemar.
