Acting Up at Tatton's Old Hall - Theatre Season
What do a 20 foot shark, an ever extending nose and a couple of star-crossed lovers have in common? They all make a star turn in the fabulous theatre season at Tatton Park.
Having long established itself as one of the leading venues for outdoor theatre, Tatton's Old Hall hosts three fantastic summer productions. Renowned international touring company Illyria bring Pinocchio and The Merry Wives of Windsor to life in the grounds and Shakespeare theatre company Theatre Set Up, hope All's Well that Ends Well within the atmospheric Great Hall of the Tudor building.
With comedy and farce, witty one-liners and enthralling theatrics, there is something for everyone this season.
Mick Ricketts, Old Hall Steward commented "The grounds and historic house at Tatton's Old Hall provide such an atmospheric backdrop for the performances and provides plenty picnic space for our audiences."
Pinocchio (Illyria Open Theatre): Saturday 5th July

All's Well that Ends Well (Theatre Set Up): Friday 11th July
Commoner Helene loves nobleman Bertram, but will all end well in Shakespeare's bittersweet romantic comedy? Commences 7.30pm. Tickets £15
The Merry Wives of Windsor (Illyria): Friday 15th August
Shakespeare's tale sees Falstaff falling in love, not once but twice, at the same time with two women who are actually best friends. Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical. Commences 7.30pm. Adults £10, Child £7
