Performances 2019
Scenes from Shakespeare presented in the beautiful grounds of Polesden Lacey, the National Trust property set in the Surrey Hills. In June 2019 our original adaptation of a selected Shakespearean play will play out on the South Terrace with the magnificent house at Polesden Lacey as our backdrop. This 20 minute junior version of Shakespeare's play will be presented by three performers with a multitude of hats, some funky disco dancing AND audience participation. Plus we will pop up in the glorious gardens with scenes from two more Shakespeare plays – all done in our very particular way. Fun for the whole family IS assured.
We are delighted to be back at Polesden Lacey for a sixth successive year of Pop Up, with live musical accompaniment provided by the traditional sounds of Perdix.
| Dates : | TBC - June 2019 |
| Times : | Pop Up begins at 1.30 pm & will be repeated through each afternoon |
