Fuller’s has announced the return of its popular pub garden productions this summer — Opera in the Garden and Shakespeare in the Garden.

Produced and performed by Rogue Opera, this year’s Opera in the Garden production is Carmen, running from 11th June until 14th August.
Rogue Opera brings Carmen to life for a modern audience, sung in French with a new English script. Four singers and a pianist deliver a show with all of the well-known music and drama in an engaging and original format.
Shakespeare in the Garden, now in its 13th year, is a favourite in the Fuller’s calendar, produced and performed by Open Bar. This year, there will be two productions — The Tempest, from 2nd July until 31st August, and Much Ado About Nothing, from 22nd July until 13th September.
The plays are performed by casts of four and six actors respectively, so expect plenty of costume changes as well as laughter, music, and some audience participation.
“I’m delighted to be holding so many productions in our beautiful pub gardens this year,” said Fuller’s marketing director, Sam Bourke. “Fuller’s is very proud to support the arts.
“The ongoing popularity of Shakespeare in the Garden led us to host more shows throughout the year, and these have been well received, too. Last year, we hosted productions of Sense and Sensibility, which were a great success, and Vanity Fair was popular this year.
“This is the fourth year of hosting Opera in the Garden, proving our customers enjoy a range of live productions.”
