Beside the rushing river, beneath the boundless expanse of the open sky, amid the throng of over a thousand people, join us this summer as we once again turn to Shakespeare and Theatre. Not to sanitise or sedate, but to awaken and comfort with the soul and pulse of complex humanity, multiple truths, and new perspectives on old problems, across time, for all time, in the safe embrace of our wooden ‘O’.
With brand-new Shakespeare productions, a supernaturally silly family show, an extraordinary new play, plus our programme of visiting artists, conversation, discussion and debate, this summer promises something for everyone.
