Sunset Series: The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I

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

  • Booking essential

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, totally hysterical. As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!

★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny” ★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press ★★★★★ – “Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable”

Bring your own cushions, and camping-chairs and join us on our 10th anniversary open-air adventure. Come prepared for the weather - the performance will continue come rain come shine!
