TAKE live entertainment, a picnic and a beautiful setting and you have all the ingredients for a perfect summer evening.
The National Trust continues to host its season of outdoor theatre and live music at picture-postcard locations in Hampshire.
The remaining Hampshire highlights include:
The Vyne: Summer theatre -Twelfth Night
Saturday 15 August, 7pm (gates open 5.45pm), £19, book on 0844 249 1895
Join the Lord Chamberlain’s Men for Shakespeare’s joyous tale of love, longing, mischief and mistaken identity, set in fair Illyria. With identical twins separated by shipwreck, a cross-dressing heroine and everyone in search of love, Twelfth Night is one of the most famous and tangled love stories in literature.
This enormously funny, fast-paced production of Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy is performed by an all-male cast in full Elizabethan costume, with traditional music and dance.
Mottisfont: Summer theatre - Pride and Prejudice
28 August, 7 - 9.30pm (gates open 6pm), adults £16, children 18, book on 0844 249 1895
Will Mrs Bennett manage to offload her numerous daughters in record time? Will Lizzy and Darcy actually get together? Will creepy Mr Collins just go away please? This literary Jane Austen classic gets the Pantaloons treatment in a hilarious and innovative new production.
