Theatre prepares to go outdoors

LICHFIELD Garrick is set to take advantage of the summer heat and bring audiences outdoors to Lichfield’s historic parks, where they can watch outdoor theatre productions in the sunshine.

The new programme of shows gets under way next month with a performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Shows continue into August as the magic and adventures move to Beacon Park on Sunday, August 8. Families will laugh until their tummies hurt as Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Funky Pigs join

Karate Granny on their afternoon adventures.

There will be another helping of open-air theatre on Sunday, August 22 in Beacon Park, which will provide the perfect setting for The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.

The line-up of shows will conclude on the evening of August 22, with an outdoor production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Numbers for the open-air theatre shows are limited in accordance with social distancing requirements and are on sale priced at £14 for adults.
