Go Wilde this Summer – with Rain or Shine!

What better place to spend a summer’s evening than watching theatre in the great outdoors?

This year the Gloucester-based Rain or Shine Theatre Company will be performing one of the greatest comedies of all time, Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy of manners, morals and morality The Importance of Being Earnest!

The Importance of being Earnest - Lady Bracknell, John Worthing and the bag

The Importance of being Earnest - Lady Bracknell, John Worthing and the bag

When two Victorian gentlemen assume the name of ‘Ernest’ to win the affections of two ladies, both determined to marry a man of that name, the scene is set for hilarious confusion in a world of handbags, perambulators, cucumber sandwiches, muffins, butlers, the English upper class, and of course, that theatrical ‘tour de force’ – Lady Bracknell.

Directed by James Reynard, the professional troupe’s 64-date tour encompasses outdoor venues across the UK, from the Channel Island of Alderney to Northumberland, Wales and Norfolk, visiting some of the country’s most picturesque castles, stately homes and gardens.

The tour includes a one night only performance at Caldicot Castle, on Sunday July 25th at 7pm. For tickets priced £10 (concs £7, family £25 )ring 01291 420 241. Audiences are invited to bring their own low-backed seating or rugs, and a picnic to maximise their enjoyment of the al fresco performances. True to its name, the company is enjoying the hot summer so far, but bring your brolley – just in case!

Tickets can be purchased from each venue, or online for the entire tour via www.rainorshine.co.uk.
