The Three Inch Fools present a largely historical, always hysterical, brand-new Tudor comedie at The Bishop's Palace

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! Remember to bring something to sit on. There will be an outdoor bar selling cold drinks, ice cream, and alcohol throughout the performance. You are also welcome to bring your own picnic. The performance will go ahead even if it is raining, so please dress for the weather. Please do not bring large beach-style parasols, as these will block people’s view of the performance. The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I is a fundraising event for the Palace Trust. If you require a carers/essential companion ticket for any of our events please email events@bishopspalace.org.uk
