A new adaptation of the children’s classic Stig of the Dump and Shakespeare’s As You Like It and The Two Gentlemen of Verona will be staged at Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre in Chester.

Opening on July 1 and running until August 21, this season is the biggest to date, with 59 performances in the season’s schedule.

Alex Clifton, artistic director of Storyhouse, which produces the season, said, “our season presents two very different Shakespeare comedies: an anarchic farce and a magical romance.

"We are really proud to be bringing our seventh new play to Grosvenor Park, a reworking of the children’s classic Stig of the Dump by Olivier winner Jessica Swale.”
