Set in the fictional Manchester men-only bar, 'Associates', FETISH KNIGHTS is a classic situation comedy - in an extraordinary situation...
On a Manchester backstreet, away from the neon lights, hen parties and drag queens, is the secluded door that leads down to the basement bar, 'Associates'.
Associates bar is for the masculine men of Manchester; men who seek solace from the glitter of Canal Street. Tales and rumours of the seedy goings-on at Associates are legendary amongst the 'normal' people. The bar holds secrets indeed, but why are the regulars so protective of what goes on in the dark basement? And what would they do if word leaked out, that they were in fact a little more concerned with 'quiche and Corrie' - than 'whips and chains?'
FETISH KNIGHTS delivers laugh-a-second humour, a razor-sharp script, instantly lovable characters, plenty of shocks and a twist you WON'T see coming!
PRESS NIGHT and after-show press party are on Monday the 22nd of August 2011 commencing at 7.30pm.
