This is the 78th season for The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and seeing a play here is really an essential part of spending summer in London. The season kicks off with Arthur Miller's classic witch hunt, The Crucible, based on the Salem witchcraft trials in Massachusetts during the 1690s. Shakespeare's plays are always a feature of the Open Air Theatre and, on 24th June, the Bard's Comedy of Errors makes a welcome return to the outdoor stage after a 14 year absence. In July, we have the second installment from Shakespeare with Macbeth, directed by Steve Marmion who recently transferred Rupert Goold's production of the play to Broadway. August and September are devoted to a retelling of the Brothers Grimm, Into The Woods, as Red Riding Hood, Jack of the Beanstalk, Cinderella and Rapunzel are interwoven with the Baker and his Wife, desperate to have children. Comedy by Jack Dee and The Comedy Store Players, with live music from Stacey Kent on 13th June add to a summer of outdoor fun. But no matter how fabulous the performances the biggest draw is the magical setting. The players emerge from the green leafy wings, under a darkening summer sky (you may need to take waterproofs but mainly the show goes on whatever the weather) and twinkling fairy lights, all surrounded by English parkland.
