A Quote from Chapterhouse Theatre Company’s Producer, Richard Main,Producer ”The last ten years seem to have vanished in a haze of rehearsals and wonderful people and venues. I still feel as though we are on the cusp of a new company and that sense of newness comes from the regenerative spirit of all the new actors, the new and exciting scripts, the beautiful venues and of course the audiences who support us from year to year. I have so many memories of incredible times and experiences, of gardens and plays, of picnics and summer days and of verse and song and smiling faces. We are a privileged few who get to perform in such magnificent surroundings under the stars. There is absolutely nothing to compare with it as we see the changing season in the sounds of the countryside or the times of the sunset, making each night a first night until the last. This year more than any other we have the best of shows, the loveliest of casts and the most incredible of itineraries for our performances, so please do join us on our journey as Chapterhouse presents its 10th year of magical theatre, theatre under the stars.”
