2012 - From Shakespeare With Love

Dates & Location

Wednesday 11th July - Saturday 14th July 2012
Evenings at 7.30pm

The Grounds of Hillbark Hotel, Frankby, Wirral

This was a small-scale, "bring your own chair and umbrella" production, with all seats in the open-air.

It was a light-hearted revue of different aspects of love as it is portrayed in some of Shakespeare’s major comedies. The production focused on  extracts from 'The Tempest' (Young Love), 'Much Ado About Nothing' (Mature Love), 'Twelfth Night' (Love Unrequited), 'Henry V' (Love- Warts and All) and  'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' (Love Bewitched).

Hillbark Players were delighted to be back in the grounds of Hillbark House - now Hillbark Hotel - for the first time since 1990. We are very grateful to Craig Baker, the owner, for his encouragement and support.

 

Tickets

All Tickets £10

Hillbark Hotel also offered a 2-course pre-show meal for £17.
