Forget stuffy auditoriums and enjoy the pleasures of theatre under an open sky. Pinnochio in the Park, presented by the New Shakespeare Company and The Unicorn Theatre is a new adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic Italian fairytale. Emily Gray (Unicorn Associate Director) directs the production.
A number of Sundays in the Park concerts will also form part of the season, together with Late Nights in the Park events, and the traditional free Midsummer Night Concert – dates to be confirmed.
The food on offer at the theatre is delicious (and you're allowed to take a bottle of wine into the second half). Blankets are for hire, but make sure you dress warmly, this is England, after all. If you arrive early (doors open at 6.45pm) make sure you take a scented stroll around the Regents Park rose garden.
The Open Air Theatre was the recent beneficiary of a National Lottery grant meaning modernised facilities, architectural landscaping and planting and improved access for disabled people. It all looks lovely and makes for rather a magical night out.
Please call the box office for information about disabled access and signed performances. Guide dogs are welcome (and can be looked after if required) and an assisted listening system is in operation for people with hearing impairments.
Secure on-line booking available at the Open Air Theatre website, see link.
