Theatre in the Gardens: The War of the Worlds
Outdoor theatre, suitable for all ages. The critically-acclaimed Pantaloons invade the stage in this funny yet faithful open-air adaptation of H G Wells sci-fi classic as they use musical instruments, puppetry and, um, enthusiasm to recreate deadly heat-rays, giant fighting-machines, squidgy tentacled Martians and interplanetary warfare on an epic scale.
Theatre in the Gardens: Much Ado About Nothing
Outdoor theatre, suitable for all ages. There’s plenty to shout about in The Pantaloons’ take on Shakespeare’s timeless summer comedy of masks, music and mistaken identities!
