A Midsummer Night's Dream - 29 July - Wendover

Open Bar Theatre Company perform another Shakespeare classic in our garden this summer.

A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare is a comedy that weaves together multiple storylines, set in a magical forest. The play centres around four Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, all of whom get caught up in the antics of mischievous fairies.

The main plot follows Hermia, who is in love with Lysander, but is being forced by her father to marry Demetrius, who is in love with her. The couple runs away into the forest, where they encounter the fairies Oberon and Titania, whose own relationship is filled with conflict. Meanwhile, Oberon’s servant, Puck, uses magic to try and fix the love triangle, leading to comic misunderstandings.

In addition, a group of actors, led by the comical Bottom, is preparing a play for the Duke's wedding, but their efforts also become entangled with the magical chaos in the forest.

Ultimately, all the lovers are reunited, and the play concludes with a joyful celebration of love and transformation.

Opera in the Garden - 28 August - Wendover

Rogue Opera presents a fresh take on Mozart’s Così fan tutte (All Women Are the Same).

Get ready for a modern twist on this classic opera, where love, loyalty, and deception collide in a fun, fast-paced story—imagine The Wolf of Wall Street meets Clueless!

Così fan tutte is a hilarious farce full of mistaken identities, disguises, and misunderstandings, all sparked by a daring wager and manipulative schemes. While the music is dazzling and the antics are outrageous, at its core, the opera explores the complexities of trust, attraction, and temptation.

We’ll be presenting the opera with an original English script, just as we did with our successful Carmen Re-imagined, so you can enjoy the drama without the need for translations, while still experiencing the beautiful music and powerful themes.
