The next production by Edward’s Boys will be Your Five Gallants by Thomas Middleton, a playwright with whom we have had some dealings. Mid-March 2027. Tour is a work in process - although Stratford-upon-Avon, London and Paris (France) are confirmed. Please spread the word. More details to follow.

It was a pleasure to see the @edwardsboys.bsky.social again in The Knight of the Burning Pestle at The Charterhouse. As always absolutely brilliant. Well done to everyone. We loved this bawdy tale with a surprising and funny soundtrack

Edward’s Boys are masters at immersing their audiences in the narrative, but not quite like this! There were brilliant individual performances but it was the precision of the relentlessly revolving cast, moving seamlessly from playing one part/piece of scenery to another that kept us captivated.
