Less Than 10 Tickets Remain!
Pamlico Jack’s Pirate Hideaway and Elizabeth R & Co. join talents to present the second evening performance of Bloody Mary! Executive Chef Lee Miller fashions a royal smorgasbord and re-defines buffet! A dinner and show unlike any other!
This hysterical historical farce proves that the refinement of royalty only strengthens sibling rivalry. Rivals in life, companions in death, and hysterically funny in the after life. A twist of fate entombed Queen Elizabeth I and a bitter enemy, her sister Queen Mary I together in Westminster Abbey. As they lay in their tombs, they are kept up to date on current affairs thanks to the tour groups traversing the Abbey. Each night they rise from their tombs to continue their ageless battle of history, wit, and mutual disdain – to the death! Monologues, song, dance, jokes and taunting. A Royal Cat Fight!
Until this event you could only enjoy Bloody Mary as part of a select schedule of performances at Roanoke Island Festival Park. This play is exclusive and it is only preformed on The Outer Banks.
Following the performance everyone is invited to meet the cast, get autographs and photos with the Queen.
