Horatio Nelson: Fever and Fire

Drama

Horatio Nelson: Fever and Fire

Written and performed by Adam Preston

Back by popular demand following a sell-out run at the Tabard Theatre.

Written and performed by Adam Preston, Horatio Nelson, Fever and Fire is a powerful one-man show exploring the life, loves and legacy of Britain's greatest naval hero.

Drawing on extensive historical research, the play goes beyond the familiar legend to reveal the man behind the myth. From the loss of his mother in childhood and his early struggles at sea to his greatest victories and his passionate relationship with Emma Hamilton, Nelson's extraordinary story is brought vividly to life with wit, humanity and emotional depth.

Nominated for a Standing Ovation Award, this acclaimed production returns to the Tabard for a limited run following its sell-out performances earlier this year.

Featuring wardrobe by Primetime Emmy Award winner Dougie Hawkes (Bridgerton) and sound design by Amanda Priestley.
