Beguiling Shakespeare at Dore Abbey
10:53am Wednesday 2nd July 2008
TO celebrate its 10th anniversary, Rain or Shine Theatre Company this summer re-create Shakespeare’s sublime masterpiece, The Winter’s Tale, which will be performed on Wednesday, July 9 in the grounds of Dore Abbey.
The play, which has been described as ‘Shakespeare's Sistine Chapel’, is set in the glorious outdoors, and sweeps from jealousy, rage and loss to redemption, reconciliation, and finally - wonder. Passion, love, and reunion rule this beguiling dramatic comedy. Along the way, it visits kings and queens, playful children, a singing street peddler, dancing shepherds, a most extraordinary statue, and a famously hungry bear.
The Winter’s Tale at Dore Abbey, Abbeydore starts at 7.30pm. Tel 01981 570251/01873 821456 or buy tickets on-line at rainorshine.co.uk
