The crowds cheered; the bands played; Queen Victoria waved. But among the smiling, adoring faces were men with murderous thoughts. History tells of a glorious, golden reign and an empire on which the sun never set. But history does not often recall that during her rule there were seven attempts to assassinate beloved Vicky, Empress of Nearly Bloody Everything. Who WERE these would be killers? Find out in this fascinating tale told through melodrama, comedy and Rock n Roll!

A new play by Patrick Prior performed and produced by Isosceles (Pat Abernethy and Dave Marsden)
