Fans of Spin-Off Theatre may be surprised to learn that Roland - the beer connoisseur and heroic mardler - has recently traced his ancestry back to one of the county's most swashbuckling heroes: Horatio Nelson (who, just coincidentally, celebrates his bicentenary this year)

They might be even more amazed to learn that Roland's arch rival in love, the villainous Ned, is in fact a direct descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte!

The fireworks when the pair meet one night in May can only be compared to Trafalgar, or the Battle of the Nile: it's incredible the way that old ancestral traits come creeping through in moments of crisis... prepare to witness flotillas of ferocious crisps and beer glass formation as never witnessed before... you'll also find out things about Nelson and Napoleon that only the family would know...
