Based on lurid accounts of one of the most sensational murders in English history, this wild and dark mock Elizabethan farce tells the twisted and strangely compelling story of Alice Ard

This young wife was repeatedly thwarted in her attempts to murder her devoted and unsuspecting older husband with the help of her reluctant lover, her bumbling servants, a lecherous grocer, and two gluttonous murderers Black Will and Shakebag

These two find themselves lost in fog, locked out of gates, drenched by chamber pots and tormented by flatulent mice. The language is richly beautiful, complex and often wildly funny

There is an eccentric, melancholy poetry hidden in the play which captures the contradictory wonder of Elizabethan drama as if through a series of nightmarish fun house mirrors

This play will make you laugh, will haunt you and make you swear off blue porridge forever
