A unique venue in a village near Milton Keynes is opening this summer with a jam-packed season of live theatre.
The Arches Theatre is opening for its summer season of live theatre and music on 27th July.
The unique venue in the small village of Clifton Reynes takes its name from the four beautiful disused railway arches used to stage exciting live theatre and music over the summer months.
The theatre offers a mix of theatre and live music, comedy shows to family performances and Shakespeare. Shows this summer include whodunnit ‘The 39 Steps’ with new theatre company Underneath The Arches; a gallop through Greek mythology with The Last Baguette’s ‘Pandora’s Jar Box’; an exciting trip down the rabbit hole with DOT Productions and ‘Alice in Wonderland; plus a double dose of Shakespeare from British Touring Shakespeare with ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ with Shakespeare Circus. Live music comes from Shades of Simon, a refreshingly new 5-piece band presenting their highly acclaimed show in tribute to Paul Simon. Owner and Artistic Director, David Pibworth, said: “We’re now in our sixth year and we are excited to bring another summer of fantastic live theatre to our outdoor venue. “Supporting local and professional theatre troupes and musicians is very important to us, as is bringing incredible theatre and culture to our local community for everyone to enjoy. “We’re proud to continue creating a unique experience that you won't get elsewhere within Buckinghamshire. So come and unpack your picnic, pop open your Prosecco and prepare to be wowed!” For tickets and further information, visit the website.
