Our Summer Season 2025
We’re celebrating our 10th anniversary, and to mark the occasion we will be touring with not one, but two magnificent troupes - each performing their own show. One troupe will tour a brand new production, The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I, whilst the other tours Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. An absolute cracker of a season, celebrating in style with plenty of music, history, and hilarity!
Our open-air Summer Season begins in May and runs into September, with performances at castles, stately homes, village greens, walled gardens and ruined cathedrals (to name a few) - 18 performances at 13 different venues across the UK! Take a look at our interactive map to find the performance closest to you, or scroll down to see our list of performances across the UK.
We've got lots more dates yet to come, so be sure to check back again later if you don't see a show near you.
