Join the witty and amoral Lord Edmund Blackadder in this uproarious Tudor romp, where his dire debts lead him to encounters with legless sea captains, nuggets of purest green and a girl called Bob. Cunning plans abound as Blackadder schemes to save his hide from the red-hot poker of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Join us this November for a laughter-filled journey through the Elizabethan age.
