Knight in Shining Armour by Jos Biggs |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 6. Minimum total without doubling = 6. No chorus.

Music | None. |
Style | Comedy sketch (a long sketch or a very short play!) with minimal set requirements (although it does require a rock and chains). |
Synopsis | A not-so-heroic knight is on a quest, but when he finds a maiden to rescue, the prospect of going up against an actual fire-breathing dragon is a bit much for him. Luckily for her, there's another option. |
