WELCOME TO WIVENHOE OPEN-AIR SHAKESPEARE
We have been performing a Shakespeare play each summer since 2012, in gardens and outdoor spaces around Wivenhoe in Essex. In addition, for the last few years, we’ve been performing a one-off ‘Pop Up’ event every Autumn.
Performers of all ages from 8 to 80-plus include long-term enthusiasts and newcomers to the Bard. New members are always welcome.
Workshops are held during the autumn and spring when we explore Shakespeare’s language and scenes from the plays. All are welcome to attend: £4 fee, 7.30pm start, please note varied locations.
