Summary

Come and join Blackadder, Baldrick, George, and a host of other familiar faces as they are placed in a trench during World War 1 – what could possibly go wrong? Luckily Baldrick has a cunning plan…

We follow their various doomed attempts to escape from the trenches to avoid death under the misguided command of General Melchett.

The last Blackadder in the TV series and Winner of the British Academy Television Award for Best Comedy Series in 1989.

Blackadder Goes Forth is the Bancroft Player’s second visit into the life of Blackadder as we put on a very successful production of Blackadder The Tudor Years in 2019.
