PREVIEW

Treachery, trousers and Tudor tomfoolery 
Ian Hammond-Stark, director

After the Success of Blackadder II, Masque Theatre have agreed to more cunning plans and tomfoolery...

Blackadder III will follow the same format of three episodes (Amy and Amiability, Nob and Nobility and Duel and Duality) all performed in the round at The Holy Sepulchre, Northampton.

Amy and Amiability - with the Prince broke, it's down to his butler Blackadder to find him a rich bride.

Nob and Nobility - With tales around court of the exploits of The Scarlet Pimpernel, Blackadder aims to prove... It's not that difficult.

Duel and Duality - With the prince bringing dishonour to a member of court, a challenge of a duel has been issued...
