It's 1917 and waiting in fear of the dreaded order to go 'over the top' from the patently insane General Melchett, Captain Edmund Blackadder devises several attempts to escape the banality of the trenches.
With the gallant-but-dumb Lieutenant George and the even dumber Private Baldrick, the trio's efforts to evade their inevitable fate involve a plump-breasted pigeon, the Royal Flying Corps, a libido-driven air hero, as well as the constant offer of a cunning plan.
Come and enjoy this stage version of one of Britain's most beloved TV comedies.

Through arduous training, Eliza learns how to speak English “properly,” and transforms into a lady respected and adored by all classes.
Along the way she bewitches young Freddy Einsford-Hill into falling in love with her, and convinces a supposed linguistics expert that she is royalty but where can she go from there?
