Family friendly theatre at Chepstow Castle
|
One of this country's biggest and most varied festivals of open-air theatre starts on the evening of Saturday 15 June with a production for audiences of all ages of "Babe the Sheep Pig" by Illyria. Adapted from the book by Dick King Smith this family friendly production tells the story of a pig who thinks he's a sheepdog!
Although primarily a children's story Illyria's creative staging, highly inventive, complex and convincing props are multi-layered humour will delight adults as well. The theatre company's productions in previous years of "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Twits" were universally acclaimed.
Yorkshire-based Chapterhouse Theatre Company come to Chepstow with an adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility"on Thursday 20 June. This exquisite, lively tale follows the Dashwood sisters as they fall in love, make mistakes and experience heartbreak for the first time in their quest to find a balance between sense and sensibility in Regency Society.

Tickets for all performances can be bought in advance from Chepstow Museum telephone 01291625981, and as there is a wet weather cover it is advisable (and cheaper) to buy tickets in advance of the day of performance.
