Chapterhouse to present open-air classics

Magical theatre in magical surroundings.

Chapterhouse Theatre Company has announced plans for a summer tour that will include six stunning open-air adaptations of classic novels and some of literature’s most treasured stories to theatre-goers throughout the UK and Ireland. Performed at over 180 of the most beautiful garden venues from June until September 2016, Chapterhouse promise an enchanting and unmissable evening of theatre under the stars.

Chapterhouse’s 2016 summer season is set to be one of the most exciting yet with a line-up that includes two brand new productions: Peter Pan and The Railway Children, as well as another chance to see a few returning favourites: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sense and Sensibility, Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles and Wuthering Heights.

Open-air theatre lends itself perfectly to pre-show picnics, an opportunity for friends and family to sit back and enjoy each other’s company whilst indulging in a glass of chilled summer wine and watching a wonderfully traditional evening of entertainment. Whether a play seen under the stars or during an afternoon of summer’s bliss, Chapterhouse will delight audiences with their 2016 season.
