Living Spit are back with Elizabeth I: Virgin on the Ridiculous

Living Spit (The Six Wives of Henry VIII) return with another hilarious romp through history on Friday 6 March with Elizabeth I: Virgin on the Ridiculous.

1558. England. A country divided by religion and politics, teetering on the brink of civil war. The hopes of the nation lie with one Woman.

2013. England. A country divided by those who enjoy plays featuring men in dresses and those who don’t. The hopes of the nation lie with two Bristolian actors.

But Howard Coggins and Stuart Mcloughlin can no longer rely on apparent physical resemblances to Tudor monarchs. They’ve done The Six Wives of Henry VIII, and the truth is neither of them look like anyone else.

But they won’t be deterred. They’re just going to have to dig a little deeper. Act a little better. Live a little dangerous-er, as they attempt to tell the story of the greatest Monarch that ever lived – Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen.

But will these two theatrical fools be up to the challenge?With more live original music, silly songs, stupid shenanigans, perfunctory props, and hysterically historical horseplay, this promises to be (another) poorly researched lesson in Tudor history that you’ll never forget.

‘Brilliant comic acting….honest, unpretentious, beautifully scripted comedy. As self-effacing comedy goes, this is premier league stuff’ – Venue
