Breakaway Theatre Company usually puts on an outdoor Shakespeare production each summer, but this year they’re all at sea! After a tough year for everyone, they decided to set sail for a show full of sea, sand and shedloads of jokes.
All By Myself and All By Themselves are two consecutive castaway comedies by award-winning playwright Robert Scott, and the fast-action plot will transport the audience to a deserted beach in the middle of the Atlantic.
Larry the Loner has been shipwrecked – alone, destitute and without a friend – for seven years and he dreams of company. But sometimes when dreams come true they’re not what you expect …
Director Margie Skinner said that the shows were just the antidote to the doom and gloom around at the moment: “We chose these plays as they’re engaging, light-hearted and full of fun which makes them perfect for an outdoor performance. They’ve got a real summer holiday feel.
“And as Larry the Loner learns in the play, we can all cast off our ‘dreaded grims’ for ‘delighted grins’ and spread some smiles around.”
You can see both shows tonight and tomorrow at Inn on the Park in Verulamium Park. Tickets £12.
The Inn on the Park in Verulamium Park will be serving a range of hot and cold drinks as well as delicious chilli con carne and veggie chilli to enjoy with the show.
More details and tickets at £12 each are on “sail” here www.breakawaytheatre.com
