Regina Vagina is a free musical comedy that takes an in-depth, raunchy and surprisingly accurate look at the life of Queen Elizabeth I, drawing on the Horrible Histories style to explore the woman who has been documented as much for her body and sexuality as her actual achievements. The show asks whether Elizabeth was really a virgin, what Mary Queen of Scots' reputation was built on, and brings in Bram Stoker for good measure. Through scandal, conspiracy and musical comedy, it invites audiences to consider a woman whose story has often been filtered through others' obsessions.
Why see this show?
A free, irreverent and genuinely funny musical comedy that treats its historical subject with more wit than reverence. If raunchy political history wrapped in catchy songs appeals, this is the show to catch.
