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

 ★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience.” – Hastings Independent Press  

Back by popular demand, join us for an outdoor performance by The Three Inch Fools, an innovative touring theatre company acclaimed for their fast-paced and musically driven approach to theatre. They have built a reputation for staging bold and vibrant open-air productions at some of the UK’s most spectacular historic and natural landmarks.   

About the show 

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!  

What audiences say

 “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny!”

“Great fun for the whole family…my kids are still talking about it!”

“Stunning, authentic, original, and downright bloody awesome.”

“Totally worth getting totally soaked for!”
