Blackadder 2

A stage adaptation by Fylde Coast Players Based on the original BBC Television Series Created by Richard Curtis, Rowan Atkinson, Ben Elton and John Lloyd.

Fylde Coast Players have a cunning plan to take you back to Elizabethan England with Blackadder 2.

The play, adapted from episodes of the original BBC production, is set in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It sees Edmund, Lord Blackadder, as a Tudor courtier attempting to win the favour of the Queen while avoiding execution by decapitation, a fate that befell many of her suitors. As ever Blackadder’s ambitions are hampered by his inept sidekicks, the aristocratic Lord Percy and the turnip-loving Baldrick.
