A Raleigh splendid comedy
4:40pm Friday 18th July 2008
THE new highly acclaimed comedy Elizabeth and Raleigh by Stewart Lee comes to Blackwood Miners' Institute starring Simon Munnery and Miles Jupp.
Sir Walter Raleigh introduces an audience with his beloved Elizabeth I, the wittiest, wisest and most unforgiving of all the English queens.
Raleigh is in love with Elizabeth, but will he end up in her bed, or will he lose his head?
Potatoes, tobacco, Elizabethan dance, cross-dressing, xenophobia and laughs galore from the team behind the Edinburgh festival 2007 hit Johnson And Boswell - Late But Live.
The Daily Telegraph wrote: "Snortingly funny is the only way to describe it."
Elizabeth and Raleigh is at Blackwood Miners' Institute on Friday, September 19, 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £12 (£10 reductions) and available from the box office on 01495 227206.
