Squires

Honestly one of the most enjoyable shows I saw at fringe. Perfect combination of historical and modern humour, with lovable characters and a hilarious, gripping storyline.

It really wasn’t good. The writing might have been alright but it needed actors who’d had a bit of training. It was very first year GCSE.

Very tightly written, delightfully zany interrogation of the medieval comedy genre — like if Monty Python took a crash course in feminism…
The cast and crew were all clearly having the time of their lives and this joy shines through to the audience. I saw this show multiple times and it only improved every single time. Enormous well done to every single wonderful (and hot) person involved in this show!!!

My second time seeing this fantastic show. Lots of laughs, great performances and very enjoyable story.

A lot of fun! Really distinct characters and some really funny jokes. Nothing complex but that’s just what I needed. Some of it could have been a bit tighter and seemed underrehearsed somehow. Think it may have been a case of them performing it so many times they’ve lost the intentions behind the lines. Good show overall.

what a fun and tightly-written show! so enjoyable and a brilliant way to spend an hour (which honestly flew by). 0/10 needs more lute (but you get +10 for being so funny)

Really enjoyable, quotable and wonderful! Not a dull moment and very well written. Performers were perfect. Amazing watch would 100% recommend.

Silly and fun as you'd expect, but what stand out are a well paced plot, and defined characters with genuine depth. Enjoyable, confident performances, excellent use of lighting and props. Great energy, recommended.

Sweet, silly and sincere- a great watch for anyone looking for a lighthearted show!

Very enjoyable show. Would recommend. Fred is very charismatic with sparkling eyes.

One of my favourite shows so far! Ridiculously fun and brilliantly written and performed, highly recommend!!

It's very funny - a joyous hour that flies by. Go and see it....

Absolutely brilliant show!! The writing is incredible, matched only by the talent of the cast and tech crew! I would highly recommend - it is a jewel of a show that drew us all in and kept us laughing for fifty glorious minutes.

Hilarious and incredibly entertaining. A must see!

A fast-paced and bonkers romp by young students who obviously had great fun performing and their enthusiasm and joy were both obvious and contagious.
The Fringe needs more stuff like this.
Indeed, life itself needs more stuff like this :-)

A super fun, scrappy romp - perfect for Fringe! Full of good, clever jokes, fun new takes on classic tropes, and engaging performances from all!

Very amusing well acted definitely worth going

Squires' writing is silly but pin-sharp. A selection of excellently designed props and setpieces transport this tiny black-box theatre to the medieval ages, along with pigstys, dragons and the recent discovery of gravity. Excellent character work is neatly paired with snappy one-liners by a cast who are, without a doubt, having the time of their lives performing this show. A strong recommend - there will be swordfighting, and jousting, and the chance to be demonstratively flirted with.

What a fantastic show! It's funny, it's witty, it's clever and the acting is brilliant, highly recommend!

Really fun and fantastic show! Such a mismatch of genres and references come together to form this absolute banger of a play. Was cackling like a witch throughout. The actors bring an amazing charm to all the characters and as an ensemble the team do amazing! The writing is witty, the actors are charming, and the direction is goofy and whimsical. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a good time!

If you love ‘A Knight’s Tale’, ‘Monty Python’, ‘Horrible Histories’, or anything else of the comedic historical genre, then this is well worth a watch. The characters are funny and charming, and each distinct as an individual. I wasn’t sure at first but eventually found myself giggling away, swept up in their world of misfit squires.

Very good. Smart, funny script. Great cast. 5 stars *****

This is 2024’s very own Monty Python and it was raucously funny. With a sharp script and delightful performances from the cast, this grounded show had the type of chemistry you want to see at the fringe. Highly recommend!

Very witty show with impeccably casted actors. Definitely one of my favorite shows I’ve seen so far at the fringe; If you’re looking for a laugh, these guys can provide it.

This show was so much fun to watch! The cast are hilarious and provide constant laughter throughout, would highly recommend!

Absolutely cute and charming! Perfect if you are looking for a script for a school play

5/5 Squires was hilarious. The cast were fantastic and all performed brilliantly, the dialogue was witty and the concept was intriguing. Would definitely recommend!

OMG. Saw this show today, it's absolutely hilarious, competently penned and Very well acted. All the cast were fantastic but the stand out for me was Phoebe Tompkins playing Phil/Phillipa. She was outstanding, a definite star of the future. Remember her name!

A definite recommend! Well written, very funny and a great concept.
