A summer of family theatre!

26/5/2023

0 Comments

 
We're excited to be hosting multiple theatre groups this summer and are inviting the whole family to be immersed in live theatre for the first time at our historic venue.

Live theatre is a great way to introduce young people to different stories, historical events, and social issues in a fun and engaging way. With this new programme of events we're reaching a new, younger audience in the local area.

Starting the summer off is Midlands based theatre company, Don't Go Into The Cellar!, with Sherlock Holmes: The Sign of the Four on Friday 16 June at 7:30pm. It is an original one-man show where Sherlock Holmes meets a miscellany of other larger-than-life characters - classical Victorian detective action at its finest! The show is adapted from the Conan Doyle and is suitable for 11 years+. £16.00 per person/£42.00 per family (2 adults 2 children).
​Later in July, we will be joined by award-winning theatre group, Impromptu Shakespeare, before they head off to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They will be running a theatre workshop which will be followed by a theatre production. During the workshop, with artist Rebecca Macmillan, the attendees will learn how to make up their own Shakespearean insults and poems, and translate how they speak to their friends. This is a special family workshop for kids together with their parents or carers - it'll be fun and silly, with some really insightful educational bits too. This workshop is suitable for anyone who has started doing some Shakespeare at school or home (around 11+ but this can vary). £7 per young person (accompanying adult is free). Saturday 29 July, 11:30am-12:30pm.

The theatre production follows at 2pm with the Impromptu Shakespeare whip-smart cast. This performance will be packed with priceless wit, lyrical smarts, romance, and double-crossing, as this leading ensemble do the Bard proud with a new one-act hit every time, inspired by audience suggestions. General ticket is £11, family ticket is £40 (two adults and two young people (under 18)). ​

​If you haven’t had enough of Shakespeare by that point, be sure to visit Dursley Heritage Centre and see their exhibition ‘Shakespeare’s possible links to Dursley’, which will be open from July.

Tickets for these events are available from our What's On page.
