SUMMARY:Illyria: as You Like It
DESCRIPTION:In this play\, Shakespeare explores Love in all its guises. Four pairs of soulmates meet in the mysterious Forest of Arden. One pair leaps straight into bed. Another pair is instantaneously dumbstruck by each other’s beauty and pledges their undying troth. The third pair torment each other: he showers chaste love upon her\, which she haughtily rejects – yet secretly she enjoys the flattery. The fourth pair go further still\, playfully blurring their roles and identities to such an extent that flirting becomes more pain than pleasure\, and Love itself is pushed to the limit of its endurance – and beyond. \nThroughout the summer\, Shakespeare’s iconic comedy will be performed where its action is set – in the great outdoors\, by a 5-strong cast of classically trained professional actors. Multi-award-winning Illyria has an unmatched reputation for excellence\, forged over three decades\, that dominates the outdoor touring theatre sector. Join them this summer for a memorable night of laughter and romance under the stars. \nThis performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets\, cushions\, and chairs. We welcome picnics\, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather\, this event will move inside. \nRunning time: 140 minutes plus interval\nRecommended: All ages\nTickets: £18 | Child: £10 (Under 10) | Concessions: £14\nRegistered carers go free

SUMMARY:Illyria: Pinocchio
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world\, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883\, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet\, little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away\, but instead of excitement\, only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. \nHe returns home\, hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful\, well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show. \nThis performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets\, cushions\, and chairs. We welcome picnics\, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather\, this event will move inside. \nRunning time: 95 minutes including interval\nRecommended: 5+\nTickets: £18 | Child: £10 | Students and those claiming financial assistance: £14\nRegistered carers go free

SUMMARY:Illyria: the Pirates of Penzance
DESCRIPTION:Frederick\, accidentally apprenticed to Pirates as a child\, is indentured to the Pirate King until his 21st birthday. On the day he reaches 21 he leaves the ship\, announcing that he now intends to dedicate his life to the Pirates’ destruction. The Pirate King checks the contract’s small print – and realises that as Frederick’s birthday is 29th February on a leap year he has only had four birthdays and is actually indentured for another 63 years. With only the Penzance constabulary to protect him\, will Frederick be forced to serve the pirates until he is 84? And will his sweetheart\, Mabel\, wait for him that long? \nPerformed by a six-strong cast of actors/singers with fully orchestrated accompaniment\, The Pirates of Penzance boasts such gloriously memorable songs as “To be a Pirate King!”; “Modern Major General” and “A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One”. With razor-sharp satire and glittering wit\, it remains as fresh as if it had been written today. \nThis performance will be outdoors at the E.C.O.S. Amphitheatre. Please bring blankets\, cushions\, and chairs. We welcome picnics\, but please buy drinks from our bar. In the event of bad weather\, this event will move inside. \nRunning time: 120 minutes including interval\nRecommended: All ages\nTickets: £20 | Child: £10 | Students and those claiming financial assistance: £14\nRegistered carers go free

SUMMARY:Rory Bremner and Friends
DESCRIPTION:As the nations favourite satirical mimic\, Rory really needs no introduction what-so-ever. \nHe’s provided definitive impersonations of PMs and Presidents from Major to Mandela\, Blair to Brown\, Clinton to Cameron and Bush to Trump. As himself\, he’s been presenter\, writer\, quiz-show host\, actor\, translator and even (briefly) ballroom dancer. (Strictly\, 2011. WTF?) \nBy the time he’d graduated in 1984\, he was already performing on the London stand-up circuit and at his native Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, and got his first TV series with the BBC in 1986. In a TV career of over 30 years\, he’s won numerous awards\, including 3 BAFTAs for his long-running Channel 4 satire series Bremner Bird & Fortune\, featuring Rory and the two Johns. \nRory’s other TV credits include regularly appearing on Whose Line is it Anyway\, Spitting Image\, Have I Got News for You\, and Mock the Week. \nRoger Monkhouse is one of the most original and distinctive acts on the comedy scene. A consummate stand-up who employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience. \nNewcomer Rich Bunn will be doing a ten minute spot – he was recently the Runner Up in the 2026 Bath Comedy Festival New Act Competition. \nRunning time: 120 minutes including 20-minute interval\nRecommended: 14+\nTickets: £27

SUMMARY:Mark Thomas: 40 In Stand Up Years
DESCRIPTION:What?! Mark Thomas has been ‘standing up’ for 40 years? Impossible!! But how old does that make you…? Alas it is true; one of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic as he takes his brand-new show on the road this autumn. \nSo\, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years\, won 8 awards for performing\, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself\, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)\, written 6 books and 5 play scripts\, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4\, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4\, sued the police (and won) 3 times\, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours. \nIf that’s not enough\, he’s also walked 724km around the length of the Israel Wall in the West Bank\, been credited with changing the law on tax avoidance\, started a comedy club in Palestine with Dr Sam Beale and campaigned successfully for things like trade union recognition for cinema workers and getting multinationals to change their practices. You’re right\, there’s more\, but your attention is running out and we’re running out of space. So\, let’s just say he’s generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset the right people…which he is really\, really good at. \nThis is a taster menu of political and personal mayhem\, jokes\, rants and a state of the nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the hell is going on’ into a cogent evening of stand-up.

A native of this hedonistic underworld\, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted\, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet\, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting… \nManon’s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet\, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon’s Paris\, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s designs. \nRunning Time: 190 minutes\, two intervals\nTickets: £18\nFriends of Merlin: £15
