Madison Children's Museum

King Edward loves life. He loves being King and ruling England, particularly the banquets and the knighthoods.

Edward loves his wife, Elizabeth. And he loves his mistress, Jane.

Jane loves her husband, Matthew. Matthew loves Jane, but doesn't particularly love how much Edward loves Jane, so Matthew signs on with the Pirate Stranguidge and his crew.

And that's just the first half of this comedic history by Shakespeare contemporary Thomas Heywood.

This event is suggested for adults and mature teens.

Tickets: $25 in advance, $30 on the day of the show.

Edward the Fourth brings the comedic history of England’s greatest party king to Wisconsin audiences for the first time. Written by Shakespeare contemporary Thomas Heywood, this play zooms in on the brother of future King Richard III. Edward drives his courtiers to distraction, his mother to fits, and his mistress’ husband to a life of piracy on the high seas. Edward is presented in the heart of Madison’s downtown for two weekends only, with tickets available through the museum.

Willie Jones from Madison-based grass band, Sortin' The Mail, will be hosting a monthly bluegrass jam at our taproom! This jam will be a little different than your standard. While we will never tell a musician how to do their job, our only request was "fun, uptempo, and different". While we love standards and traditional old-timey, we want our jam sessions to be a little more of a broad array of styles. Each jam will start with a set of tunes from Willie (and possibly some special guests!) followed by an open jam for anyone who has a tune they wanna share or is just looking to rock out. So come join us for a great afternoon of pickin' and grinnin'!<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/147454/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
