SUMMER outdoor theatre is now an eagerly awaited annual event at Battle of the Boyne, Oldbridge and Droichead Arts Centre is delighted to welcome back Chapterhouse Theatre Company with their stunning adaptations of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens on Saturday 15th July and family favourite The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame on Saturday, 5th August.

So first up is Great Expectations on Saturday 15th July at 6:30pm, an unforgettable story of love, family and friendship, set in the depths of Victorian England. From the haunting marshlands of Kent, to the bustling streets of Victorian London, this epic tale follows the fortunes of a young Pip as he falls in love, finds his fortune and makes his way in the world. This beautiful romantic tale is brought to life with traditional music, full period costume and a whole host of colourful characters, from the dangerous convict Magwitch, to the elusive Estella, and of course, the eccentric and mysterious Miss Havisham. These Great Expectations will certainly not disappoint.
