A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Durham is an irreverent and anarchic take on the story of the Lindisfarne Gospels. A sketch-based play, featuring around 40 characters played by just three actors, AFTHOTWTD covers more than 1400 years of English history in just 90 hilarious minutes and includes encounters with many famous historical figures, including five Kings of England, a Saint, several Vikings and Monks, a Leper, a Spin-Doctor, the Easter Bunny, and of course, Sherlock Holmes.
