Shakespeare in the Garden returns this September and the show is coming to Teddington.
Yes you can see Shakespeare in the Garden live at the popular Anglers Pub on the 7th, 15th and 21st of September.
The production, which this year will be The Tempest, is put on in Fuller's Pub Gardens across the country by the Open Bar Theatre Company.
This is the ninth year of Shakespeare in the Garden and of course this year will be a bit different with social distancing in place.
Open Bar co-founder and director, Nicky Diss, said: "Every year we try to bring accessible and fun Shakespeare shows to Fuller's pub gardens and, this year, we all need inspiring theatre more than ever.
"We're dusting off our aerial rig and The Tempest will be blowing into a beer garden near you."
Open Bar was formed in 2016 and co-founder Vicky Gaskin described their audiences as: "They are a real mix of pub goers and theatre fans."
"We love them all but nothing beats witnessing someone enjoying Shakespeare for the first time.
"The more reluctant they are at the beginning, the more magical it is."
Nicky added: "Trying to produce a show in 2020 has been a roller coaster to say the least.
"Fuller's has been so positive and supportive throughout and, in a world where all artists are feeling undervalued and concerned for their future, we feel immensely privileged to be able to provide work for creatives – and ourselves."
Vicky added: "We certainly don't shy away from a challenge.
"We love making theatre in unconventional spaces, so why not in unconventional times?
"Two years ago, Nicky gave birth a week before we went into rehearsals and I got married between rehearsals and opening night, so incorporating social distancing isn't likely to intimidate us."
