In our 101 Reasons to Love the Cotswolds collection, Theatre Reviews Page 2 stands out as a reminder that the area is about much more than pretty views.
On this page we look at what makes it special, with details including Romeo and Juliet, Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, Read more and La Fille mal Gardee, ROH live, Vue cinema Stroud and other venues, and a little of the context that helps you see it as more than just another stop on the map.
