Father, husband, writer, poet, adventurer, philosopher, soldier, tyrant, egotist, lover, traitor, alchemist, visionary, victim. In a life spanning around 65 years, Sir Walter Raleigh achieved more than others might do in a hundred lifetimes.  Over a decade in the tower and still he held power. The Huguenots, America, The Armada and execution. Is that the whole story?  The final chapter of Raleigh’s life is perhaps the most daring, strange and utterly heart-breaking.

See the fall from grace taken directly from historical record, marvel at the magnetism of a man who seized every opportunity to create a legacy which spans the centuries and at every wrenching, exalting and personal moment, you will be witnesses.

Following their five-star show, I, Elizabeth, the award-winning Dyad Productions (Lady Susan, A Room of One’s Own, Austen’s Women) return to the Elizabethan era. To the famous and fabulous Elizabethan explorer, sailor, dandy, and warrior, Sir Walter Raleigh.  Elizabeth I’s favourite and James I’s knave.
