• The Comedy of Errors

  Performance

  24 Jun 2010 to 31 Jul 2010

  For the first time in 14 years, Shakespeare's rollicking farce, The Comedy of Errors, makes a welcome return to the Open Air Theatre. In this witty merry-go-round of mistaken identity, two sets of estranged twins find themselves unwittingly wandering through the streets of the same town, where the men are jealous, the women are furious and there's a priceless gold chain that everyone wants. As broken relationships are slowly pieced back together, order is restored and the final reunion is a heart-warming celebration of love.

   

• The Comedy Store Players

  Comedy

  4 Jul 2010 to 4 Jul 2010

  The world famous Comedy Store Players are resident at the London Store. A supportive crowd wills on six brave performers who arrive with no script and have not the faintest idea of what will happen. Through improvisation they create whole sketches and comic dramas that are amazingly inventive and funny and often take off into flights of surreal brilliance.

   

• The Crucible

  Performance

  24 May 2010 to 19 Jun 2010

  Set amid the Salem witch hunts, The Crucible, arguably Arthur Miller's greatest play, sees a community divided by jealousy and superstition. As witchcraft hysteria takes hold, choices have to be made: conform to survive or uphold your beliefs whatever the consequences.

   

• Into The Woods

  Musical

  5 Aug 2010 to 11 Sep 2010

  A spellbinding concoction of witches, battles, ghosts and murder, Macbeth continues our programme of Shakespeare plays re-imagined for family audiences. Three witches foretell that Macbeth will be crowned King. Driven by ambition and encouraged by his ruthless wife, he secretly assassinates the current monarch to realise the prophecy. However, as Macbeth claims the throne, he is haunted by the demons of his past and his fate is set. Condensed, yet still using original language and text, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays with young people. Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by James Lapine.
