Shepherd Neame is teaming up with Kent theatre company Changeling to stage open air theatre at two of its pubs this summer.
Shakespeare With Sheps will see Maidstone-based Changeling Theatre perform Shakespeare comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost during its outdoor summer theatre tour.
The first performance will be at The Three Mariners, in Oare, near Faversham, on Thursday, 13th July, at 7.30pm. The second will be at The Belle Vue Tavern, in Ramsgate, on Wednesday, 26th July, again at 7.30pm.
“It’s really exciting to be bringing live theatre to two of our pub gardens this summer — and what brilliant venues to see Shakespeare in!” said Jonathon Swaine, Shepherd Neame’s managing director, pubs.
“The Belle Vue Tavern and The Three Mariners are fantastic locations to sit back and enjoy the show, whilst soaking up the atmosphere in their gardens. The Changeling Theatre are known for their lively, fun, and fabulously creative shows, and we can’t wait to add two of their performances of Love’s Labour’s Lost to our offer for our customers this summer.”
Artistic director of the Changeling Theatre, Rob Forknall, said: “We’re excited to welcome Shepherd Neame to our list of stunning venues across the South East and beyond this summer, where we will be staging our summer tour. We see Love’s Labour’s Lost as Shakespeare does Bridgerton. If you loved the Netflix series, then this show is perfect for you.”
