This is What It Sounds like… When Dwarves Cry

Dwarves aren’t known for crying. They prefer quaffing ale, bashing goblins, and saying “and my axe!” But now their beards are wet with tears, and the purple-clad Prince calls for heroes!

Unfortunately, he gets Randy’s bunch.

In Fringe 2020 show D&D Live: When Dwarves Cry, comedians and improvisers set out on a Dungeons & Dragons quest to set things right! Or at the very least, to not make things significantly worse.

On this adventure are STEVEN YOUNGBLOOD as well-meaning agent of chaos Randy Dwarf, JARROD BAKER as cynical priest Frun Grothilde, and THOM ADAMS as bigger-on-the-inside warlock Jackwick Gambleson. They don’t know what’s coming and will improvise their way through the adventure, hoping their dice don’t roll too badly.

Dungeon Master MORGAN DAVIE will need all his years of experience to herd these unpredictable performers on their journey.

No knowledge of iconic fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons is needed to have a great time watching these unorthodox heroes ricochet through an adventure. This show is for everyone.

D&D Live: When Dwarves Cry is part of Fringe 2020. One show only, Friday 6 March at 10pm. Tickets can be purchased on the BATS website, bats.co.nz.
