The Cursed Ring: A Viking Saga brings epic myth to life under the open sky — a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, and the price of power that has doomed men for centuries.

Any resemblance to other legendary rings of dread and doom is purely coincidental... 👀

🗓️ Wednesday 21 August
📍 Outdoors at The Place Theatre
🎟️ Tickets are going fast — don't be left outside the circle

Will you answer the call of the saga? Book now before the ring claims the last seats. 🔥

Thanks to everyone who supported this campaign - it has reached its target but there is still time to donate if you can - thanks again!

We aim to make a film, telling a story about love, connection and the barriers that hold us, through a comedic lens. We would love your help
