Poisoned Blood

“Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see is based on true events taken from Barnstaple’s archive… set in the time of plague and witchcraft, ‘Poisoned Blood’ is a tale of deceit… a tale of treachery…a tale… of murder!”

Based on a real murder trial first heard in Barnstaple when Elizabeth I was on the throne, Poisoned Blood is a journey into North Devon’s rich and fascinating history.

Brought to you by the creators of False Witness, the first Barnstaple Fringe show to sell out online, this sensational courtroom drama takes place in the atmospheric setting of Barnstaple’s magnificent Guildhall. Join us for an evening of twists and turns.
