Blackadder Goes Forth

7.30pm . 2:30pm Saturday matinee

Adapted for the stage by Alistair Cheetham from the BBCTV series by Ben Elton & Richard Curtis

It’s 1917 and waiting in fear of the dreaded order to go ‘over the top’ from the patently insane General Melchett, Captain Edmund Blackadder devises several attempts to escape the banality of the trenches.

With the gallant-but-dumb Lieutenant George and the even dumber Private Baldrick, the trio’s efforts to evade their inevitable fate involve a plump-breasted pigeon, the Royal Flying Corps, a libido-driven air hero, as well as the constant offer of a cunning plan.

Come and enjoy this stage version of one of Britain’s most beloved TV comedies.

Tickets £6-£12
