Hot on the heels of the re-ignition of outdoor performances, The Maltings Theatre will present a two-week open air festival of Shakespeare (and more) at the atmospheric Roman Theatre of St Albans during August. The Maltings Theatre's own productions of Henry V and The Merry Wives of Windsor will feature throughout the two week run and performances of both plays will bookend the programme opening on Friday August 14TH and closing on Monday August 31ST. The Festival will also host the work of three other critically acclaimed touring theatre companies: The HandleBards will present ?Romeo & Juliet' and ?Gnora the Gnome's Daytime Disco' (children welcome!); Folksy Theatre will present ?The Taming of the Shrew'; Pantaloons Theatre Company's ?Sherlock Holmes' completes the programme. With strict planning and safety measures in place, the venue will be able to accommodate 220 audience members utilising the full height and all three levels of the atmospheric amphitheatre for the first time in the modern era.
