Tickets have gone on sale for United Queendom at Kensington Palace. A brand-new immersive theatre experience from internationally renowned theatre company Les Enfants Terribles and independent charity Historic Royal Palaces.

United Queendom opens on 28 February 2020 and has a strictly limited run, ending on 30 March 2020.

Experience a side of Kensington Palace never seen before and lose yourself in a world of outrageous parties, scandals and gossip. Les Enfants Terribles, the Olivier Award nominated team behind the immersive smash hit Alice’s Adventures Underground, are exclusively taking over Kensington Palace for five weeks this Spring. Once visitors have left for the day, the stories of two brilliant women that deserve to be told will be uncovered in the very rooms where their lives unfolded..  United Queendom  combines Les Enfants Terribles trademark storytelling with a remarkable true story in the historic setting of a royal palace.

       

An English mistress. A foreign queen. United Queendom  is the incredible true story of two powerful women often overlooked and forgotten by history; the smart and intelligent Queen Caroline and the enigmatic and passionate Lady Henrietta Howard, told within the palace’s magnificent State Apartments, once home to both women.

Think you know your history? Think again. Two women. Two separate routes through a palace. Two stories. One night.

Step into the court of King George II. He’s decided to celebrate his birthday, but little does he know that his mistress, Lady Henrietta Howard, is about to drop a bombshell. And she’s seeking an audience with his wife Queen Caroline first!

Henrietta, the girl born in Norfolk, who married a drunkard, lost everything and then ascended to everything.

Queen Caroline, one of the first people to inoculate her own children, who introduced Sir Isaac Newton to court and established women only educational forums, is changing the face of court, re-defining what a woman can and should be, and ruling her husband with just the right amount of good advice and steely leadership. But can this queen rise above the constraints faced by women in the 18th Century?

Delving into the world of political intrigue, court games, high drama, scandalous gossip, and smiling through gritted teeth, this immersive theatre show presents you with a choice of two separate journeys highlighting the stories of these brilliant women who might have otherwise been lost in the shadow of their king.

       

James Seager, Creative Director for Les Enfants Terribles said, “It’s incredibly exciting to be ‘let loose’ in the palace after closing time to bring a modern twist to history and to re-introduce two women who have such modern influences and parallels to the world we live in today.  They refused to back down in a male dominated world, refused to be silenced and refused to bow to tradition. They changed the course of history re-defining the role of women at court, fundamentally changing palace life forever in the process.  Their stories deserve to be heard and told and we’re looking forward to introducing them to new audiences!”
