'Bringing open-air Shakespeare to the Wirral'

Thanks for visiting. Website last updated 11th May 2012 

********************************************************************************************************

We will be presenting a small-scale production called 'From Shakespeare with Love' from Thursday 12th - Saturday 14th July 2012 in the grounds of Hillbark Hotel.

 

This is a light-hearted revue of different aspects of love, as it is portrayed in some of Shakespeare's major comedies. Directed by Keith Hill, the production focuses on extracts from 'The Tempest', 'Much Ado about Nothing', 'Twelfth Night', 'Henry V', and a 'Midsummer Night's Dream'.

Bring a seat, a picnic and possibly an umbrella.

Hillbark Players are delighted to be back in the grounds of Hillbark House - now Hillbark Hotel - for the first time since 1990. We are very grateful to Craig Baker, the owner, for his encouragement and support.
