Open Air Theatre at Raby Castle
The Three Inch Fools present: A (Largely Historical, Totally Hysterical) Tudor Comedie

Get ready for a royally ridiculous evening of musical mayhem as The Three Inch Fools return with their brand-new show: a side-splitting Tudor romp where history and hilarity collide!

Set within our breathtaking grass amphitheatre – the first of its kind in the North of England – this unique venue is nestled in the East Garden, with sweeping views of the historic castle rising in the distance. A truly unforgettable backdrop for an evening of live theatre.

Elizabethan theatre is booming, and Queen Elizabeth I is about to take centre stage – quite literally. But with rival royals, mischievous playwrights, and a script that’s… let’s just say, a work in progress, things are not going entirely to plan. Will Her Majesty’s big theatrical debut be a triumph or a total Tudor disaster? Expect outrageous characters, mistaken identities, and more than a few nods to Shakespeare, in this joyful blend of fact, fiction, and farce.

★★★★★ “So entertaining… laugh-out-loud funny”
