OUTDOOR SUMMER THEATRE

Thursday 24th July at 7.30pm
Theatreworks performs Thomas Hardy’s “Tess Of The D’urbervilles”
Pure melodrama at its best this classic lends itself beautifully to open-air performance.
The novel is written with a passion that never slackens, following the story of Tess, a maiden who falls victim to male lust and hypocrisy.
Superbly professional Theatreworks are once again set to enrapture audiences with their evocative scene setting, attention to detail, beautiful costumes and outstanding performers.

Tickets: Adult £12, Conc. £10, Child £8 (£2 discount for tickets purchased in advance)

Tuesday 29th July at 7pm
Truewest performs “Pitchside” (PROVISIONAL)
A comedy by a new Cornish theatre group about a girls’ football team, highly suitable for families with children over 8yrs. Performance finishes at 9pm.#

Tickets: Adult £7, Conc. £5, Child £4

Wednesday 30th July at 7.30pm
Miracle Theatre performs “Jason”
This new summer production will take you into the lands of Greek legend and romance as hero battles against the odds. Nothing can stop Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece – not even a dodgy oracle. It takes more than a bad weather forecast, threats from dysfunctional gods or sirens with halitosis to put off the Argonauts. But when it comes to love, Jason is completely overwhelmed. He is no match for the sorceress Medea. Miracle plunders the riches of Greek mythology – with tragic consequences!

Tickets: Adult £9.50, Conc. £8.50, Child £6

Wednesday 13th August at 7.30pm
Theatre Set-Up performs Shakespeare’s “All’s well that ends well”
This magical story tells how Helena, daughter of a Renaissance healer, inherits the prescriptions for his remedies, cures the ill king when doctors have failed and as a reward is given in marriage to Bertram, the man she loves. However, Bertram resents this marriage, forced upon him by the king and it takes all Helena’s devotion and skill to ultimately win his love.

Tickets: Adult £9.50, Conc. £8.50, Child £6
