‘Welcome watchers of illusion, to the castle of confusion.’
For people of a certain age, the image of a helmeted CGI head slowly disintegrating to the sound of a heart beat can instantly bring on PTSD. Such is the enduring power of Knightmare, the late 80s/early 90s ITV kids’ show that blended a familiar Dungeons & Dragons set-up with what was then a completely unique video game aesthetic.
Venture into a world of jesters, wizards and giant spiders as we welcome Tregard himself (aka Hugo Myatt) to the Square Eyes festival for a celebration of a show that still capture’s imaginations today. We’ll be watching some classic moments from the series and talking to Hugo about his memories of the show. And who knows? Perhaps an audience member or two will don the fabled Helmet of Justice and enter their very own castle of confusion…
