Carew Castle will provide the backdrop for an entertaining open air production of Blackadder II from Monday 12 August to Friday 16 August.
Red Herring Theatre will perform three hilarious episodes of the popular series in the Castle grounds, bringing the much loved character of Edmund Blackadder to life, along with his pea-brained peasant Baldrick and the clueless but fashionable Lord Percy.
Carew Castle Manager Daisy Hughes said: “This evening of amusement is ideal for those who enjoyed the series in the 1980s, as well as anyone who is too young to have seen it, with the show featuring three funny chapters of Blackadder’s hilarious history.
“The production is set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when the great rebuilding of the north front of the Castle was completed under the command of Sir John Perrott, one of the many colourful characters in Carew’s history.”
Doors open at 6pm with the show starting at 7pm. Bring a rug or low backed chair, warm clothing and a torch. Picnics welcome, hot drinks available.
Booking is essential. Please call 01646 651782 to reserve a space. Tickets are non-refundable and the performance will go ahead in wet weather.
Tickets are £12 for adults, £10 for concessions (65+ or student) and £8 for children (aged 4-16). A family ticket for two adults and two children is £35.
Blackadder II is part of the 2019 open air theatre season at Carew Castle, which will come to a close with a production of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny on 20 August.
