The Rural Shopping Yard, Castle Ashby

The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I

 

The Three Inch Fools present a largely historical, always hysterical, brand new Tudor comedie

 

Elizabethan theatre is flourishing. But will a brand-new Tudor musical romp, in which Good Queen Bess takes to the stage herself, be the making of this heroine or spell the beginning of her downfall?

The stage is set for regicidal rivalries, devious dramatics, and plotting playwrights. Beset by misunderstandings and a script that…let’s just say…needs some work, this production promises to be largely historical, always hysterical.

As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!

★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press
