The Yeomen of the Guard

A tale of intrigue, joy and despair, love and sacrifice. Set on Tower Green, London.
Colonel Fairfax, a gentleman, soldier and scientist, has been falsely accused and sentenced to be beheaded within the hour.
To avoid leaving his estate to his accuser, his cousin, he secretly marries strolling player, Elsie Maynard.

Jester, Jack Point is also in love with Elsie  but agrees to the marriage knowing  that Fairfax will soon be executed.
When the hour of execution arrives, it is discovered that Fairfax has escaped throwing the Tower into confusion
 and setting in motion a number of intriguing plot twists.

Elsie collapses realising that she is now married to a man she does not know.
Jack Point is very distressed as he was hoping to marry Elsie himself.
Wilfred Shadbolt the jailer, is distressed as he has been blamed for the escape.

Suspense is high! Join us to discover how the plot unravels and what fate has in store for all.
