The Queen, Shakespeare and Me - Brighton Fringe
The Queen, Shakespeare and Me
Affectionate musical comedy tribute to a thoroughly modern, fully empowered female role model – a woman who headed up a country & united a commonwealth for over 70 years, earning respect, admiration & affection from around the world.

This powerful, colourful lady head of state reflects on her long life and reveals her "all" to her people – her undying love for her corgis, the men in her life, her singlehanded success at forging peace processes, her unexpected, delightful designs for leading the country, with a surprise "coming out" at 96. "Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety"

You are regally commanded to join Her Majesty for tea, free cake & biscuits, and a glimpse into unseen aspects of her life. With audience participation, SingalongaLiz, Shakespeare & quiz. We may mourn her passing and the end of an era, but HM would not have wished us to be miserable.

Don't miss the UK’s answer to Mrs Maisel! Handbag – the regal older lady’s Fleabag!

A cultural awakening that is not afraid to challenge our viewpoints of the monarchy and life

, ★★★★

Irreverent without being offensive to anyone other than the most straight-laced of royalists

- Mark Tournoff, Fun & Laughter Mob

A solid, warm performance with delightfully silly moments
