THE tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet will be given an airing in the great outdoors when the Chapter-house Theatre Company comes to Croome Park.

The company is performing Shakespeare's classic love story across the UK at open-air venues and the picturesque gardens at Croome Park will be the setting on Sunday, July 20.

The style of Chapter-house performances are generally the same year on year, using a large cast of 15, classically simple sets, Elizabethan costumes and original live music. A CD has been produced of music from Chapterhouse shows, part of the proceeds of which will go to Children in Need.

The grounds open at 6pm and the performance starts at 7.00pm. Tickets for the show start at £8, available from the box office on 01905 371006.
