After a number of hit productions Common Ground theatre company are back with their new show Prisoner of Zenda, which is being performed at Hockham Village Hall on Saturday 23rd November 2013 with support from the arts and community development charity Creative Arts East. 

Prisoner of Zenda tells the story of twenty-nine year old Rudolph Rassendyll, who has done very little with his life. His one fascination is the Ruritanian Royal Family, to which he is dubiously related after a scandalous affair between the visiting Prince Rudolph III and Rassendyll’s ancestor, the Countess Amelia.

Rudolph resolves to visit Ruritania, on the eve of the new King’s coronation. While walking in the forests around Zenda, he meets the King and his entourage. The King and Rudolph are physically identical and what follows as a result of this accident of birth will change Rudolph’s life forever, forcing him to choose between his moral duty and his heart.

You can see Prisoner of Zenda at Hockham Village Hall on Saturday 23rd November at 7.30pm. This event is organised in partnership with Creative Arts East with funding by Norfolk County Council,

Breckland District Council, Arts Council England and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
