The Most Perilous Comedie of
Elizabeth I

Thurs 29 May 7.30pm
Main Lawn, Hever Castle

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! 

★★★★★ ‘So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny.’ 

★★★★★ ‘One of the best Shakespeare plays I’ll ever watch.’ The Bristol Post  

★★★★★ ‘The ultimate British theatrical experience.’ Hastings Independent Press 

★★★★★ ‘Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable.’  

Bring your own cushions, beanbags or chairs and join us and the Three Inch Fools as we all celebrate the 10th year of their open-air adventure. Come prepared for the weather – the performance will continue come rain, come shine.
