• Performance Details - It needs an acting space - theatre, school hall or large room. The piece can last from twenty to forty minutes, with time for questions afterwards.

  • It has been performed to regular theatre audiences at the Antibes Festival, to the Friends of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at their Millennium party in London, as well as to schools and colleges.

  • The London of Queen Elizabeth is laid out in front of you - "On your imaginary forces work!" says William's father. Suppose he guides you through the busy streets? Through the bustling, pushing, farting, shouting crowds ; through the splendour and stench of that proud city.

  • What would you see? Great buildings that have lasted until the present day, like Westminster Abbey, and one of the wonders of the Medieval world - London Bridge, with its twenty eight arches, burnt to ashes in the Great Fire of London.

  • The lively script draws on authentic contemporary material - the sentencing of a traitor - his ears to be cut off on a public gallows - the remedies for the dreaded plague, and an eye witness account of how the great Queen Elizabeth herself dined in her palace at Greenwich.
