What better setting to enjoy a summer evening’s theatre than our beautiful walled gardens.

This summer The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, an all-male cast, will perform Shakespeare’s spellbinding masterpiece The Tempest; a play of soaring poetry, high comedy and tender love, which has mesmerised and moved audiences for over 400 years. In full Elizabethan costume with traditional music and dance and with some of Shakespeare’s most memorable speeches, the production is packed with famous characters - from the elemental and ethereal Caliban and Ariel, to the comic clowns Trinculo and Stephano, along with the enchanting force that unites them all, Prospero. Sit back and be entertained with this truly theatrical play featuring Prospero, the usurped Duke of Milan, and his daughter Miranda, after being cast out from their home are washed up on a distant, mystical island. 12 years later his enemies are blown off course towards them. Using his powers of magic, he raises a tempest to shipwreck them on the island. After being left to plot his revenge for years he finally has the chance to exact it… But will he?
