Google Adam RichesAbout Adam Riches
Adam Riches presents a character comedy show in which a performer takes on the role of Sean Bean reading Le Morte d'Arthur — a fifteenth-century Middle English text — aloud for an hour. Described by Adam Riches as a work in progress, the premise is presented with deliberate simplicity: that is genuinely the show. It takes place at Monkey Barrel 3 and runs for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
The entire pitch is in the title, and that is part of the joke — and part of the appeal. An hour of Middle English read aloud in character is exactly as absurd as it sounds, and Monkey Barrel 3 is the perfect room for it.
