T01566783368

Three episodes moulded into a single play. BELLS: Served by a dungball in a dress and accompanied by a bird-brained dimwit he can't shake off, Edmund, the bastard great-great-grandson of the repulsive original, is reasonably normal - until he meets Bob... HEAD: Edmund, newly appointed minister in charge of religious genocide and Lord High Executioner, finds himself in a spot of bother when he completely ruins Lord Farrow's weekend by cutting off his head. CHAINS:Edmund is slightly inconvenienced when a fat-headed German chamber-pot boxes him up in a chest full of iron spikes and leaves him to play charades with a crazed Spanish interrogator.Director Tony Jenner. Company Bromley Little Theatre.

Blackadder II archiveIt's the Tudor court of Elizabeth I and Lord Edmund Blackadder strives to win the favour of the hilariously childish monarch, against a backdrop of adventures featuring the attractions of cross-dressing, botched executions, desperation on the high seas and the tortures of the Spanish Inquisition. Rapier wit and magnificent one liners zip through Edmund's schemes and stratagems in the company of capricious Queenie, creepy Melchett, a very silly Nursie, heart throb Flashheart, gormless toff Lord Percy... and of course poor downtrodden Baldrick who is still trying to count those beans!
