The award-winning Guildford Shakespeare Company (GSC) are set to return to the town centre this Bank Holiday Weekend with a special outdoor theatre event.
Across the August Bank Holiday Weekend, GSC will be returning to the open air with a brand-new theatre production for live audiences.
Entitled THY ETERNAL SUMMER, the theatre company promises a celebration of Shakespeare, community and the joy of sharing a live theatre experience once again. The show, whose title comes from Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day), will feature some of Shakespeare's best-loved scenes and sonnets from plays including amongst others Hamlet, A Midsummer Night’sDream and Much Ado About Nothing.
The cast of 11 actors will also feature many faces familiar to GSC’s regular audiences. The professional theatre company have been working with Guildford Borough Council on the project who have given special permission for the event to go ahead as a pilot event to examine what safety protocols need to be in place for future live outdoor events.
It has been almost 6 months since GSC staged their last production (Macbeth in February), with their Spring and annual Summer Seasons being postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The company (also a registered charity) have continued to entertain and engage during this time, delivering their award-winning education and well-being programmes via online platforms and virtual performances of Murder Mysteries and a much-celebrated production of The Wind in the Willows, attended by over 600 households from across the world.
