THE beloved adventures of Blackadder are coming to North Tawton this month, thanks to the Actors of North Tawton.

The amateur dramatic group will perform three episodes from the classic comedy series Blackadder II, with a running time of 90 minutes with two 15-minute intervals. The group will be performing directly from the original BBC scripts by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton, overcoming the challenges of adapting the television production to stage.

The shows take place from Thursday, October 10 to Saturday, October 12 in North Tawton Town Hall. Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm performance.

Tickets are available now from North Tawton Post Office costing £6 for adults and £4 for those aged 15 and under.

The scripts are being performed as written, with the original shows broadcast after the 9pm watershed.
