MR. KINGDOM'S QUEEN VICTORIA (OR A LITTLE OF WHAT YOU FANCY) to Play Edinburgh Fringe 2016
In 2016, HRH Queen Elizabeth II may have taken the crown as the longest-reigning monarch but HRH Queen Victoria is back and taking up residency at the Assembly Hall from 4 August, with opening set for 6 August 2016.
Legendary Fringe-First winner Bob Kingdom returns to Edinburgh with MR KINGDOM'S Queen VICTORIA (OR A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU FANCY), a bittingly irreverant, painfully funny and strangely moving account of the Queen who ruled a 'Kingdom' (and an Empire). Opening at Assembly on 4 August (press from 6 August), it promises all the zest of a classic Victorian comedy.
Kingdom's critically acclaimed production, Dylan Thomas: Return Journey has been seen by over 80,000 people worldwide including sell-out seasons at London's Lyric Hammersmith, Off-Broadway and Sydney Opera House.
Having written and performed in productions featuring Truman Capote, Edward VIII and Stan Laurel, Bob turns his offers his take on Victoria as you've never seen her before.
