About Fat Knight Theatre:

Fat Knight Theatre, under the Artistic Direction of John Ahlin, was formed in 2015 with a mission to create, discover and rediscover great characters in drama, history, literature and modern mythology. As Neil Simon says; "Plays are about people", and our goal is to focus on breathing life into the larger-than-life characters that people humanity, and to celebrate, inspire and communicate, through theatre and other media, the potential in each of us.
