Winter's Tale at Eyam Hall – come rain or shine
Published Date:
18 July 2008
THE Winter's Tale might not seem an appropriate choice for open-air Shakespeare this summer.
But in defiantly calling themselves Rain or Shine Theatre Company, the performers leave little doubt that the show will go on at Eyam Hall this weekend whatever the weather.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Rain or Shine Theatre Company re-create the Bard's sublime masterpiece, set in the glorious outdoors and which sweeps breathtakingly from jealousy, rage and loss to redemption, reconciliation, and finally – wonder. Passion, love and reunion rule this beguiling dramatic comedy. Along the way it visits kings and queens, playful children, a singing street peddler, dancing shepherds, a most extraordinary statue and a famously hungry bear.
Directed by James Reynard, the eight-strong Gloucester-based professional troupe are on a 65-date whistle-stop tour encompassing outdoor venues across the UK. Performances at Eyam Hall, Hope Valley, tonight (July 18) and Saturday at 7pm. Tickets from 01433 631976 or on-line via www.rainorshine.co.uk
