ELIZABETH 1: VIRGIN ON THE RIDICULOUS @ Kings Head Theatre

1558. England. A country divided by religion and politics, teetering on the brink of civil war. The hopes of the nation lie with one woman. 2022. England. A country divided by those who enjoy plays featuring men in dresses and those who dont. The hopes of the nation lie with two West-Country actors. Yes, thats right. After the Offie-nominated The Six Wives of Henry VIII played the Kings Head Theatre just before the virus hit, the second of Living Spits (un)Holy Trinity of hilarious heritage historiographies is go. Howard and Stu now attempt to tell the story of the greatest monarch that ever lived - Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen. With more live original music, silly songs, smutty shenanigans, perfunctory props, and hysterically historical horseplay, this promises to be (another) poorly researched lesson in Tudor history that youll never forget............................ REVIEWS The Morecambe and Wise of Weston-Super-Mare The Telegraph .... A case study of sinewy simplicity and honed comedy craftsmanship. The Stage .... "Side-splittingly funny." StageTalk Magazine
