A new solo show from the multi-award winning writer/performer behind the much loved Hugh Hughes is expected to prove popular at this year’s Carlisle Fringe Festival.

Exploring kindness, generosity and the value of what we do, Shon Dale-Jones raises money for Save The Children’s Emergency Fund.

Funny, poignant and playful, The Duke weaves together the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Blending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.

The Duke will run on August 24th at 6:00pm at the Old Fire Station. Tickets cost £8.50, and are available direct from the venue.
