The Killigrew's are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy. Sir Francis Godolphin is fighting the Spanish in Penzance and is not at all happy. Blissfully unaware and occasionally happy, the Tudor players of Penryn are staging 'Samson & Delilah.' 

'Samson and Delilah' is a fun, historical drama set during the backdrop of the Spanish Armada. The tour travels along Cornish coastal communities - from Mousehole to Penryn - where the Cornish and Spanish finally meet. Two worlds are about to collide both on and off the stage!
