Based on the legendary BBC TV sitcom, this hilarious show transports us back to Elizabethan England for a banquet and entertainment.
The scheming Lord Edmund Blackadder exploits his withering wit and cowardly cunning to seek his fortune at court.
As ever, Blackadder’s ambitions are constantly hampered by his idiotic sidekicks – the aristocratic buffoon Lord Percy and turnip-loving Baldrick.
To gain favour with Queenie, Queen Elizabeth I, he must also contend with the eccentric ramblings of Nursie and the crafty scorn of Lord Melchett.
Brought to you by the team who staged the hugely successful production of Blackadder Goes Forth in 2018, directed once again by Annette Farr.
We are presenting a duo of the very best and funniest episodes from Rowen Atkinson, Richard Curtis, Ben Elton’s and John Llyod second series: combined with a Christmas Banquet complete with troubadours and entertainers at the meal break. This will be the entertainment of the season. Join us on or off stage.
