Summer in Keswick Tickets go on sale on Sunday 1st April for the summer season at Keswick's Theatre by the Lake on the banks of Derwentwater in the Lake District, featuring 279 performances of six shows running in repertory between 26th May and 3rd November with a company of thirteen actors. The season opens in the main house with an adaptation by Phil Willmott of Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days directed by Ian Forrest with a cast of nine actor-musicians, in which Victorian English gentleman Phileas Fogg takes on a bet to circumnavigate the Earth in just eighty days. Alongside this in the Studio, Stefan Escreet will direct Edward Albee's modern classic (currently playing at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester) Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. Also in the main house, Alan Ayckbourn's 1970s Taking Steps set in a supposedly haunted three-storey gothic house will be directed by Stefan Escreet, who also directs the Studio production of David Eldridge's Under the Blue Sky deals with the emotional and sexual relationships of three pairs of teachers outside school. The final production in the main house is Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca in an adaptation by Frank McGuinness, directed by Ian Forrest. Stefan Escreet directs the final production in the Studio: a new version of JP Miller's Days of Wine and Roses relocated to 1960s London written by Irish writer Owen McCafferty.
