Outdoor Theatre at Athelhampton: Twelfth Night

As good luck would have it, the rain stayed away from Athelhampton for almost all of this evening’s outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night by The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Just a tiny shower right at the end!


A view over audience shows two actors on a small stage, both dressed in Tudor clothing. The one on the left is in red, while the one on the right is in black. The backdrop of the set is a half timbered Tudor house with some brickwork and some plants twining up it. In the background of the picture are trees and a wing of Athelhampton House.

With the poor weather forecast, the gardening team were consulted about the potential rain. As they are keen weather-watchers, they correctly predicted that it would be dry this evening until 9pm!


A closer shot of the stage, with the background of the set being a half timbered Tudor house with areas of brickwork. There are three actors on stage, the one furthest to the left in black. In the middle is a man all in red reading a letter, and then on the right s a man in green and black.

For more outdoor theatre at Athelhampton, you can come and see the family-friendly musical extravaganza The Wind in the Willows at 6pm on Saturday 21st June.
