You walk into a play but none of the actors have learned their lines, because there are none. This show hasn’t been written yet. Up ahead there’s a sign.

Some of Bristol’s best improvisers, with live musical accompaniment, create a brand-new episode of the classic science fiction show which inspired Black Mirror. Suitable for all levels of nerdiness and Twilight Zone knowledge! ★★★★★ Wriggle Bristol “...

Affectionate musical comedy on the world’s longest-serving monarch, now sadly bereft of her consort of 73 years.
