A brand new comedy – a mad-capped take on Britain’s most epic monarch, and those infamous wives

About

The Three Inch Fools present an essential guide on how to keep your head in the Tudor Court. Unexpectedly thrust into the limelight, young Henry navigates the ups and downs of courtly life, and all whilst fighting the French (again) and re-writing religion. The Fools hit the road with this brand new comedy – a mad-capped take on Britain’s most epic monarch, and those infamous wives.

Bring your own blankets, cushions, and camping-chairs and join the outdoor adventure at some of the most beautiful and historic landmarks in the UK. Come prepared for the weather – the performance will continue come rain come shine!

Run Time: 90 minutes plus interval

* Suitable for ages 5+ and all the familiy
