Southend Shakespeare Company Live In The Woods
13th July 2019 @ 6:30 pm
Following last year’s amazing “A Midsummer Nights Dream”, Southend Shakespeare Company returns to Belfair’s Nature Reserve with a fabulous production of Aphra Behn’s Restoration Comedy masterpiece “The Rover”!
Aphra Behn was the first woman to be a professional writer, a spy in Holland for Charles II, a staunch supporter of the Stuarts and should be much better known! She is buried in Westminster Abbey and was a favourite of Virginia Woolf! “The Rover” is her best known and most frequently performed play.
This play, placed in Naples at carnival time, is ideal for anyone with a sense of humour!
Bring a seat or blanket, pack a picnic and come along to enjoy a riotous and anarchic comedy filled with seduction, intrigue, swordfights and danger! (A typical saturday night in Leigh-On-Sea!!)
No advance booking. Tickets are available on the night and the Centre cafe will be open throughout.
If you missed last year’s awesome extravaganza, or even if you didn’t (!), then make a date with The Rover this July!
