Productions in 2008

A Midsummer Night's Dream - British Touring Shakespeare Open Air Summer Season 2008

BTS continue their long tradition of outdoor classical excellence with this exciting new presentation of Shakespeare's timeless comedy of magic, mischief and romance. For the first time ever, the show will be presented in national forest parks, making the most of the play's woodland setting, in addition to our usual selection of the best parks, stately homes, castles and festivals that the UK has to offer. The show will also be playing for a week at a stunning open air venue down by the river at this summer's Henley Fringe Festival in July. For full tour dates please see the 'Book Tickets' page.

All dates for this tour are now on sale via our 'Book Tickets' page, with the exception of the performance at the Norwich Openstages Festival which is a free event for which no ticket is required.

The opening night at Shenley Park on Midsummer Night itself, Saturday 21st June, was a stunning success, attracting a 5 star review from Dave Evans of Remotegoat who writes 'in an ideal world, Shakespeare probably is better when performed outdoors, and in an ideal world it would always be performed by British Touring Shakespeare'.

Rasputin Rocks!

An exciting new rock musical by Andrew Hobbs and Alistair Smith. Set in Russia in the near future, it features an insane Russian Emperor who, having been diagnosed with a terminal illness, decides to take the whole world with him in a global nuclear dawn. He has also discovered that the legendary Rasputin has never in fact died, but after his would be assassins failed to kill him, they instead chose to freeze him in a vast underground icy prison, which the Emperor has now located and released him from to aid him in his evil plan. Only hero of the free world Tony Blair and a group of revolutionaries obsessed with the cheesier aspects of Western culture stand between them and armageddon. All this happens to a soundtrack of classic rock, with a little doo-wop, Russian death metal and even Tony Blair singing a country ballad thrown in for good measure. 

The show will be having its world premiere at this year's Henley Fringe Festival, playing at the Kenton Theatre from Monday 21st July through to Saturday 26th July. Tickets are now available from our 'Book Tickets' page.
