Written by British comedy scene favourite Stewart Lee – co-author of the Olivier Award-winning Jerry: Springer: The Opera, Elizabeth and Raleigh – Late But Live stars Simon Munnery as Queen Elizabeth I and Perrier Award Best Newcomer nominee Miles Jupp as Sir Walter Raleigh.

Sir Walter Raleigh introduces an audience with his beloved Elizabeth I, the wittiest, wisest and most unforgiving of all English Queens. Walter is in love with Elizabeth, the spiritual embodiment of England. But will he end up in her bed, or will he lose his head?
Elizabeth and Raleigh – Late But Live comes complete with potatoes, tobacco, Elizabethan dance, cross-dressing, xenophobia and laughs galore from the team behind Edinburgh Festival 2007 hit Johnson and Boswell – Late But Live.
