Lesley Smith as Elizabeth I. Photo: COLIN HILL.
LESLEY Smith, curator of Tutbury Castle, held her audience spellbound with her portrayal of Elizabeth I.
Wearing an authentic embroidered velvet outfit and make up, she recounted her years as a most beloved monarch who brought peace and prosperity to England during her 45-year reign.
Not only did she convincingly and impressively act the character, she demonstrated her academic knowledge and infectious love of history especially the Tudor period.
A real Tour de Force.
'Strolling Minstrel’ Andy Casserley in period costume and playing traditional instruments heightened the Tudor atmosphere. Gloriana!
