About the event
Directed by Chloe Broomhead
A stage adaptation based on the original BBC Television Series created by Richard Curtis, Rowan Atkinson, Ben Elton and John Lloyd.
Blackadder Goes Forth shows the daily (?) attempts of Captain Edmund Blackadder to attempt to escape the horrors of World War One, aided and abetted by the odious Baldrick and the puppyish George. He tries a variety of schemes, involving becoming a chef, becoming a pilot and running a "talent" show, but he never succeeds. He is countered by Captain Darling, who despises Blackadder, and the often oblivious General Melchett.
Our production brings the plots from three episodes of the iconic series to the stage, weaving together all the comedy and energy of the original with the magic of the theatre!
