Blackadder The Third

Time – Curtain up at 19:30
Location – Rotherham Civic Theatre
Join the Rotherham Rep for a riotous romp through Regency Britain as we bring to life three of the most beloved episodes from the iconic BBC comedy Blackadder the Third – live on stage!
Meet Edmund Blackadder, butler to the dim-witted Prince Regent – a man burdened by wit, sarcasm, and the constant incompetence of Baldrick. This theatrical treat features three classic episodes:
🗡 Sense and Senility – With an assassin on the loose, Blackadder attempts to sharpen the Prince’s public image by writing him a speech. But when two flamboyant actors are brought in to coach him, chaos and overacting soon follow.
💍 Amy and Amiability – Desperate for funds, Blackadder hatches a plan to have the Prince marry into money. But their fortunes are soon threatened by the elusive and dashing outlaw known only as The Shadow.
⚔ Duel and Duality – The fearsome Duke of Wellington is out for blood after the Prince’s romantic misadventures. With death on the cards, Baldrick unveils a cunning plan involving mistaken identity, a duel, and Blackadder’s wild Scottish cousin, MacAdder.
Packed with razor-sharp wit, outrageous characters, and classic one-liners, Blackadder the Third promises an evening of side-splitting satire and theatrical hilarity.

Location – Rotherham Civic Theatre
Something wicked this way comes…
Rotherham Rep reimagines Shakespeare’s darkest tragedy in a gripping dystopian future, where ambition is absolute, power is perilous, and fate is inescapable.
In a brutal world teetering on the edge of collapse, a battle-hardened soldier encounters three otherworldly figures who foretell his rise to power. Consumed by ambition and spurred on by his ruthless wife, Macbeth embarks on a murderous path to the throne, but every crown comes at a cost.
This bold and visceral new production throws the Bard’s timeless themes of greed, guilt, and prophecy into a fractured future where morality is blurred, and trust is dangerous.
With atmospheric design, striking visuals, and a haunting original soundscape, Macbeth promises a powerful theatrical experience that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
