The legend of ‘The Bisley Boy’ goes like this: around 1544 whilst visiting Overcourt in Bisley, the young Princess Elizabeth rapidly fell ill and died. In the ensuing panic, a little red-headed Bisley boy was found to take her place. Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, researched the story and wrote about it in his book, Famous Imposters. Could England’s iconic Tudor queen have actually been a man masquerading as a woman?
The Saint Cecilia Singers explore the intriguing tale in words and music, accompanied by viols.
The programme will include Tudor music played at Elizabeth’s court and music inspired by the flowering of arts and literature in the Elizabethan Renaissance - plus one or two surprises.
Proceeds from the concert will support All Saints Church, Bisley.
