Venue: 
Barnfield Theatre, Exeter

What does it feel like to live under siege?

How do we find hope, when the land around us is dying?

Where do we find the heart to live, to endure, these difficult times?

Arthurian tales are part of our nation’s mythos. Like all good stories, they ask us questions…and, if we know where to look, can maybe provide answers.

World Cup 2022 – Can Denmark win it?

The World Cup in 2022 is going to take place in November and December for the first time in the history of the football World Cup. Normally the World Cup is being played in June and July but this one is played in Qatar and in the summer it is way to hot to play football there.

Maybe the temperature will be a factor in November and December as well but it should be much better than in the summer months.

Which teams can win the World Cup in 2022? A handful of teams are definitely capable of winning it. And Denmark are one of them.
