The Three Inch Fools delve into The Secret Diary of Henry VIII in Northumberland this summer
The Three Inch Fools will put a contemporary spin on the traditional touring troupe with a performance at Howick Hall Gardens.
A rowdy reimagining of one of the historical greats will see the Fools use their fast-paced, physical storytelling style with uproarious music-making in The Secret Diary of Henry VIII.
This brand new work provides an essential guide on how to keep your head in the Tudor Court as young Henry is unexpectedly thrust into the limelight and navigates the ups and downs of courtly life, all whilst fighting the French (again) and re-writing religion. Audiences can expect a madcap take on Britain’s most epic monarch, and those infamous wives.
The Secret Diary of Henry VIII is being performed at heritage sites with Tudor links and will be coming to Northumberland at Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum on Thursday, June 27.
