A Comedy of Eric's!

T01975967029
Blackadder meets Carry On as we travel 400 years back in time to meet Uncle Eric's ancestor, Edric the Smith. Surprisingly (not really), he's a lazy, unemployed, good-for-nothing who relies on his wife, Mistress Madge, landlady of the Talke Inn, for money. When Madge forces him to get a job with William Shakespeare's acting company, the rest, as they say, is history. Will the corrupt Bishop Stortford destroy the young Will Shakespeare's ambitions? What is Edric's codpiece really hiding? What does Born to be Wild sound like when played on a lute? And did Edric really write The Bard's best lines? Uncle Eric and the gang with a brand new Shakespearean comedy! It mixes pure poetry, Elizabethan history, 16th century religious corruption, and an in-depth look at the social mores of the day . . . ok, no it doesn't! It's a fabulous night of comedy, nostalgia and ye
