Theatre Whakatāne Presents: Blackadder Goes Forth

Blackadder Goes Forth is the fourth series of the immensely popular BBC show written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. The show won the British Academy Television Award for Best Comedy and now it’s being brought to the stage in Whakatane.

We find Captain Edmund Blackadder stuck in the trenches of the Great War alongside the particularly stupid Private S. Baldrick, and the ridiculously optimistic Lieutenant George. To make matters worse he is under the inept command of General Melchett and staff officer Captain Darling.

To avoid the ever present danger of being sent over the top to almost certain death, Blackadder must come up with a series of cunning plans, each of them doomed to failure until he finally resorts to pretending to be mad. But as he wryly notes ‘Who’d notice another mad man around here?’

This is a great show to bring a group or team along to and enjoy an evening of laughter. 10% discount when you purchase 10 or more full price tickets to any one performance.
