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!

About the Performance  
This is an open-air performance taking place in the Queen Mary Courtyard. Seating is not provided. We recommend that you bring your own seat, camping chair or cushion to sit on. Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs, 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. Picnics are welcome.
