SHOW INFORMATION
AN AUDIENCE WITH SIR TONY ROBINSON
Sir Tony Robinson is one of television’s best-loved faces, a master storyteller and an award-winning writer, known for creating the iconic Baldrick in Blackadder and presenting 20 seasons of Channel 4’s Time Team.
Now, after the staggering success of his sold-out February 2026 tour, Tony returns by popular demand—this time bringing the show to regional Australia and New Zealand, and celebrating a life on stage and screen—sharing stories from his remarkable career, his passion for history, and his thrilling fiction debut The House of Wolf, an epic tale of Alfred the Great and the bloody birth of England.
Hear behind-the-scenes stories from Time Team, Blackadder, The Worst Jobs in History and beyond – and have the chance to ask Tony anything, from writing his first novel at 78 to why Baldrick still gets the biggest laughs.
Drawing on decades of archaeological expertise and his gift for making the past come alive, Tony will reveal the gritty reality behind the legend of Alfred the Great in his latest work.
What was life really like for ordinary people caught between Saxon kings and Viking raiders? How did political scheming in medieval courts compare to today’s power struggles? This isn’t just historical fiction – it’s Tony’s unique take on the real events that forged our nation.
This will be a night of brilliant storytelling, big laughs, and history with a twist—all delivered by a man who always had… a cunning plan.
“It was all simply fantastic.” – Scenestr, Brisbane
“A warm, funny, genuine individual with stories to tell.” – Crave!, Christchurch

Theatre Etiquette
People come to the Regent Theatre to have a great night out. So everyone has a good time, we ask all our patrons to be courteous to those around them.
- Please turn off all your electronic devices before you come into the auditorium.
- If you have taken snacks from our bar back to your seat, try not to rustle when the house lights go down.
- If you are late to a show, get comfortable in our bar area until we can turn the house lights back on so you can find your seat.
- Camera flashes occasionally make performers stumble – over their lines or their feet – so we prefer that you don’t use flash (or any other) photography.
- Please keep your feet on the floor – someone counting the beat on the back of your seat can be distracting.
- Dancing in the aisles sounds like fun but it might make our Circle collapse. If you really need to dance (and it’s the right sort of show), please book seats in the Stalls or make your way out to the foyer.
- We encourage you to introduce your children to the arts, but please also teach them to watch and listen quietly and peacefully.
