The acting, sets, costumes, music and dare I say direction have come together to create something truly exceptional.

Friday night at Markeaton Park was a perfect summer’s evening for open air Shakespeare. Blue sky, birds singing and a great performance by the cast. Above: Robert J Williamson (Nick Bottom) and Mina Anwar (Titania). Photographs of the tour in Derby can now be seen on a new gallery page in the main part of our site. Elsewhere in the park, people played cricket, walked dogs, picniced - the very essence of English summertime. Tickets are still available for tonight’s show. Please bring something warm to wear later in the evening.
