One of the greatest performances of all time returns to the stage for a strictly limited season.
Join John Aubrey, reclusive antiquarian, as he takes you on a scandalous journey through Jacobean, Civil War and early Restoration life and includes all the bits the history books missed out! No one is exempt from Aubrey’s acerbic and hysterical gossip including Oliver Cromwell, William Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh and even the Virgin Queen herself!
This brand new production reunites one of the UK’s leading directors, Patrick Garland (The Mystery of Charles Dickens, Visiting Mr Green) and Emmy, Tony and BAFTA Award Winner, Roy Dotrice (Amadeus, The Best of Friends) who shared the success of the recordbreaking original production which was unanimously proclaimed as one of the greatest performances in the history of theatre on both sides of the Atlantic.
