The performance takes place in the Reading Room and aims to capture the playful spirit of Tudor Christmas traditions. Spectators can expect minor miracles and clever tricks within the enchanting display.
On December 10th, illusionist Jay Gatling transforms into The Harris’ Tudor Lord of Mischief, bringing back the playful, topsy turvy spirit of Christmas past.

Answer these questions and discover so much more as you enjoy the company of The Tudor Lord of Misrule, Jay Gatling, for a merry and mischievous show. Will a table fly, will the laws of physics be completely ignored, will magical chaos ensue? Perhaps.

A night of merry misrule – history with a wink. Each performance runs for 20 minutes. Location in the building: Reading Room.
