I'm in a show, and it's hotter than my pants!

Starting tonight, Theatre on Fire is presenting Blackadder II: Live, all six episodes of the second season of Blackadder, presented on stage for the first time. There are two shows running in repertory. Part One comprises the episodes Bells, Head, and Potato, while Part Two comprises Money, Beer, and Chains.

The show opens tonight, Friday, April 8, and runs through April 23. This weekend we have Part One on Friday, and Part Two on Saturday. The following two weeks we do one of the parts each night Wed-Friday, then do BOTH of 'em on Saturday. You can see one part, or both parts. There's not really a whole lot of character development, so seeing 'em out of order shouldn't really be an issue. Or you can just see one, but then you'd be missing half the fun.

Note that it's a pretty small theater and a very popular show. Tickets are selling like hot cakes. In fact, sales of hot cakes are languishing as Boston-area consumers are spending their hot-cakes-buying-dollars on Blackadder tickets instead. So if you want to see the show, I recommend buying your tickets early, and often!

The show is at Charlestown Working Theatre, near Sullivan Square, accessible from Davis by both the 89 and 90 bus routes, which stop at the busway near the T. And it's got an actual Davis Square resident playing Nursie!

I'd recommend ordering tix then. Last night the house was full (I don't know if we turned away people, but we may have) and I know at least two nights are already sold out. Oh god this is SUCH a fun show to be part of!
