Theatre

The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I

Thursday 4 September 2025

The Three Inch Fools present a largely historical, totally 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, totally hysterical. As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!
