A rambunctious Shakespeare double bill al fresco at
Westminster Abbey Picnic blankets at the ready — you've got the chance to see two of the Bard's best-loved comedies in an utterly spectacular outdoor setting next month. And there's a twist...
On 29 and 30 August, Four Forty Theatre takes over Dean's Yard at Westminster Abbey for a double bill of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night. Each play has been condensed into forty minutes of side-splitting action, with just four actors playing all roles.
Billed as panto-meets-theatre-in-the-park, the whole thing's totally family-friendly -- the kind of organised chaos kids and adults alike get a kick out of, with a run-time to accomodate shorter attention spans. Tickets cost £17 for adults or £12 for concessions — click below to get yours, or read on for a taste of what to expect. |
