Chapterhouse Theatre Company presents their most ambitious and exciting season of open-air productions touring throughout Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland. A Company nationally recognized and acclaimed for its consistently high standards of performance presents its eleventh season of touring productions, with three of William Shakespeare’s most popular plays visiting Country Houses across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland, as well as Jane Austen's classic love story, 'Pride and Prejudice' and our wonderful new children's show for 2010, 'Beauty and the Beast'. Our exciting new adaptation of 'A Christmas Carol', touring theatres from November 2010 to January 2011 is another Chapterhouse treat not to be missed.

From a first year of performances at some thirty venues, with 'Romeo and Juliet', the company has established itself as one of the most successful and acclaimed touring companies in the country. In previous years, the company has toured a variety of shows, including Shakespeare’s 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream', 'Twelfth Night' and 'Much Ado About Nothing', together with performances of classic works such as 'The Mystery Plays', 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland' and Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility'. What's more, in 2004, the company produced the first West End show ever to tour open-air, 'ART', directed by Nigel Havers. 

Chapterhouse now perform at over 150 different locations around Britain and Ireland for their garden theatre season, together with many of the most beautiful settings, including Castle Ward, Holkham Hall and Picton Castle.

Whether a play seen under the stars or during an afternoon of summer’s bliss, Chapterhouse welcomes you to their 2010 season.
