The beautiful surroundings of Batsford Arboretum, near Moreton-in-Marsh, play host to an outdoor production of one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated plays this summer.
The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, an award-winning company, return to Batsford for the third year running on Thursday, July 9, with their magical production of Twelfth Night.
The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, an award-winning company, return to Batsford for the third year running on Thursday, July 9, with their magical production of Twelfth Night.
This brand new, action-packed production of Shakespeare’s greatest romantic comedy is a story of love, loss, confusion and, ultimately, a joyous happy ending.
For the past decade the company have brought their own special brand of authentic, exhilarating and engaging productions to the UK’s most historically important and visually stunning venues and this year’s production of Twelfth Night will be no different.
One of literature’s most famous and tangled love stories the production will be overflowing with love, laughter and longing and mischief, mayhem and mistaken identity.
With one of the best-known comic sub-plots ever written, no performance of Twelfth Night is complete without a good dose of the pompous steward Malvolio and his cross-gartered yellow stockings!
Mark Puddle, creative director of The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, said: “Twelfth Night is the play that our audiences have been begging us to return to. The play has always been one of Shakespeare’s funniest and I can’t think of anything more perfect for a summer’s evening than a classical retelling of this great comedy set against the background of some of the nation’s most beautiful attractions.”
Could true love blossom amongst this madness? Will the twins be reunited? Can a man really look good in yellow stockings? Be sure to catch this brilliant all-male company perform Shakespeare as it would have been; in the open air, in full Elizabethan costume and with traditional music and dance.
There are performances are at 1pm and 7pm and gates open an hour before each performance. The audience is encouraged to bring a picnic and a rug or low-backed chair.
Matinee tickets cost £8.50, evening tickets cost £17 for adults, £12 for concessions and £10 for children and are on sale at Batsford Arboretum or by calling 01386 701441. Visit www.batsarb.co.uk for more details.
