For the fourth consecutive year, Theatre Space North East is to present open air theatre in three Sunderland parks this summer.
All are promenade productions and are free, although audience members are asked to make a donation (£8 is the suggested amount) which will be collected at the end of each performance.
Following last year’s successful production of Macbeth in Roker Park, the company revisits the venue this year with a production of Hamlet which will run at 7PM from 2 to 5 July. Those wishing to see the production should meet at the lower beach entrance.
A new version of Treasure Island will play in Mowbray Park on 1 and 2 August at 1PM and 3:30PM. Meet at the Museum entrance gate.
The third production will be Twelfth Night which will be performed in Barnes Park at 6:30PM from 13 to 16 August. Meet at the Coach House Café.
The Cultural Spring, Sunderland Live, and Sunderland City Council, North Area Committee’s Community Chest, Community Chest (via Friends of Roker Park), See it Do it and TTR Barnes have all supported this year’s season.
Theatre Space North East is a not-for-profit enterprise operated by local arts practitioner Corinne Kilvington and has close connections with The Canny Space, the new cultural venue being developed in the old Holy Trinity Church in Sunderland’s East End.
