The Merry Wives
Directed by
Gavin Bruce and Izzy Foley
We open with The Merry Wives. Shakespeare's fattest and naughtiest knight, Sir John Falstaff boozes and romps his way through the bedrooms and bars of the English countryside. Reimagined in a Hampshire village in the 1950s, this production is stuffed to its gills with music, laughter and a fondly drawn picture of country life. The Merry Wives is the perfect way to pass a summer's evening with a glass of wine and tears of laughter rolling down your cheeks.
Macbeth
Directed by
David Jackson and Izzy Foley
Then we welcome Macbeth. This is the Festival's first tragedy and this extraordinary 1930s version, promises to be unmissable, shocking and quite quite unforgettable. With fire, sacrifice and blood, the production slashes open the dark heart of Shakespeare's most visceral tragedy with violence of thought and deed. You will never have seen a Macbeth like this and as night falls across the performance space so the murderous passage comes to light. Do not miss this gut wrenching and heart-stopping show.
