Outdoor Theatre at Powis Castle and Garden: The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I
The Three Inch Fools presents an outdoor performance of The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I, where Elizabethan theatre is in full bloom.
- Booking essential
- Free event
A brand-new Tudor musical romp, starring Good Queen Bess herself, could either make or break this heroine. Set against regicidal rivalries, devious dramatics, and plotting playwrights, this production promises to be largely historical, always hysterical—and full of misunderstandings with a script that might need a little work. As the old saying goes, thy show must go-eth on! As this is an outdoor performance, we recommend bringing blankets, chairs, or cushions to sit on, and preparing for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs. Please refrain from bringing umbrellas, as they may obstruct the view for others.
