Palace Theatre, Newark

Synopsis

The Amazing Exploding Girlfriend and Other Tales of Mad Science: The creators of The 17th Century Show bring you, The Amazing Exploding Girlfriend and Other Tales of Mad Science: A Professor Edvard von Goosechaser Comedy History Lecture. The year is 1669, and it’s time for the annual Professor Edvard von Goosechaser lecture. This time the subject is mad scientists, fool hardy inventors and heroic herbalists. Find out which Royalist super soldier liked to dabble in science and how a hole in his head lead to a spectacular innovation in fashion. Discover which inventor built the first ever lighthouse on a rock, in the middle of a war with France and during the worst storm in England history. And hear about how an amateur herbalist challenged the might of the medical establishment and almost got himself arrested for witchcraft. But which one of them had and amazing girlfriend, and why on earth did she explode? Join the Professor to find out. And if that’s not enough, there will be interactive entertainment courtesy of Goosechaser and his mysterious musical companion Marco the Mute Musician in the form of Bed Wed Behead, every 17th Century person’s favourite dating game.
