The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I - Outdoor Theatre by Three Inch Fools

Join the Three Inch Fools for a comedy like no other, featuring Elizabeth I herself. Within the Elizabethan grounds of Lyveden Manor, this is not a show you will want to miss!

  • Booking essential

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!

This performance is an outdoor performance. We recommend that you bring blankets/chairs/cushions etc. to sit on. Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc, as the performance will continue come rain come shine! We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience. 6.30pm start time, gates open from 5.45pm. The performance will last approximately 100 minutes (+ a 20 minute interval).

Picnics are welcome at this performance.

We recommend booking tickets for this performance online in advance. For further information about this performance please email [email protected]
