The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I - Performed by the Three Inch Fools

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?

  • Booking essential

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!

Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available at Eventbrite. Please follow the 'check availability' link.

6:30pm start time, gates open from from 5:30pm. The performance will last approximately 100 minutes (+ a 20 minute interval).

Picnics are welcome at this performance.
