The Arches Theatre and Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy
(MKTOC) will be raising money for The National Brain Appeal’s Rare Dementia Support Fund with their production of Ripping Yarns this August (26-28 Aug 2021). https://www.nationalbrainappeal.org/what-we-do/current-appeals/rare-dementia-support/

We have been given kind permission by Michael Palin and Alison,
the wife of the late Terry Jones both of Monty Python fame, to stage three tales from comedy series and raise valuable funds for this incredible charity.

This charity was chosen because the brilliant Terry Jones sadly
died last year from frontotemporal dementia, and David Pibworth (owner of The Arches) also lost his father to dementia. So, this is a charity close to all of our hearts.

All proceeds from the Ripping Yarns performances will go to the Rare Dementia Support Fund. If we raise £5000, then our total will be match funded. If you are feeling generous and would like to give a little bit more to get us to our target, we would be forever grateful.

We'd love to see you at The Arches Theatre in Clifton Reynes, near Milton Keynes - join us!
