Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I feature in this episode set in 1592. Special guest Louise Banham attempts to become ruler of England by introducing the land to musical theatre. Beating the Bard to the punch, she writes Macbeth: The Musical and lures the queen into her masterplan with the promise of a role as lead lutist in her show. After securing a face to face meeting with the formidable monarch, Banham uses her famous jazz hands to beguile and bamboozle Queen Liz into considering her cunning proposal. Meanwhile Game Master tests the team’s pop culture knowledge with a classic PastMaster game of ‘guess who I am’. Will Louise’s musical genius secure the path to victory or will it all end in a brutal beheading? Do you know your lute from your sackbut? And what the hell did Shakespeare mean when he called someone ‘beetle-headed’? Find out all of this and more.
