After our 2020 sabbatical, the Chiltern Shakespeare Company is pleased to announce that our summer 2021 production will be William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.
Hall Barn’s magnificent parkland will once again be our venue. Performance dates, subject to the Pandemic restrictions, will be Wednesday 9th June to Saturday 12th June and Wednesday 16th to Saturday 19th June 2021.
We will release more details in the next few weeks, including revealing our director and releasing dates for auditions and start of rehearsals.
We are also pleased to announce we are planning to perform Twelfth Night as our June 2022 production.
We are extremely grateful to the owner, Jenefer Farncombe, and her team for agreeing to welcome CSC and our audiences back to Hall Barn in 2021 and 2022.
Hi,
We just wanted to let you know that we are delighted that Jack Sain, director of Much Ado about Nothing (CSC 2017) is organising an “audio production” of Much Ado, which will be cast from the 2 casts (Fourways Theatre Company’s production of 2019 & Chiltern Shakespeare’s production of 2017).
Casting is underway and a read through via Zoom will take place in a couple of weeks. Actors will then record their individual lines, and this will be edited into a final audio performance.
Keep an eye out for further details on how you will be able to listen to this unique production.
Very best wishes,
Carolyn
Chairman
Hi, Hope you are all keeping safe and well.
I hope you are visiting our website as you care about the theatre as much as we all do here at the Chiltern Shakespeare Company, and I hope you are watching some of the wonderful productions that are being live streamed for us. We are basically all able to enjoy “World Class Theatre, online, for free” (National Theatre).
However, there is nothing that can compare, to sitting in the open air, in the wonderful grounds of Hall Barn, on a warm summer’s evening, having a picnic, then watching great theatre with friends and family.
So, we just want to let you know, we WILL be back next year (circumstances permitting). We are so excited and are already in the first stages of planning our comeback, so watch this space! We are chatting with directors and looking at a couple of plays.
We will be delighted to welcome you back and look forward to seeing you all.
In the meantime, take care and keep an eye on the website for further announcements!
Very best wishes,
Carolyn
Chairman – Chiltern Shakespeare Company
Ay me, for aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth. . .
We are fortunate to call Hall Barn our home for our productions.
In 2018, we were able to fly a drone over the site and the embedded video shows the meadow, auditorium and visitor facilities.
Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once.
The juice of it on sleeping eye-lids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.
