The delightful Jenny Wren’s are returning to our Walled Garden with their brand new production – Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose … Extra! Extra! Painting stolen from distinguished art gallery! Everyone’s favourite detective duo (no, not Shaggy and Scooby) are given the Jenny Wren treatment. Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the disappearance of a legendary painting, The Governor’s Nose. But all is not as elementary as it seems. As mysterious forces – and an assortment of shady characters – work to undermine our heroes, they need all the wit, guile, and deduction capabilities in their arsenal, along with the help of the steadfast Mrs Hudson and Detective “Always-One-Step-Behind” Lestrade. The hour grows late. The paint has dried. The game is afoot. Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose is a comic new play, based on The Naval Treaty and The Man with the Twisted Lip , with apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Jenny Wren Productions is a Gloucestershire-based professional theatre company, formed in 2004. In the summer they can be found performing classic plays under the stars at open-air venues around the county, including Berkeley Castle, Cowley Manor and Highnam Court near Gloucester. The autumn usually takes us on another tour, often with a new play, to small theatres and rural venues. We have strong links with the Cheltenham Everyman Theatre and perform there regularly.

The Comedy of Errors - Open Air Theatre by The Festival Players

Enjoy an evening of outdoor entertainment in the Museum's enchanting Walled Garden. Set in the Greek city of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins who were accidentally of Syracuse and his servant, Dromio of Syracuse, arrive in Ephesus, which turns out to be the home of their twin brothers, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio of Ephesus. When the Syracusans encounter the friends and families of their twins, a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities lead to wrongful beatings, a near-seduction, the arrest of Antipholus of Ephesus, and false accusations of infidelity, theft, madness, and demonic possession. The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's earliest plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick, mistaken identity as well as puns and word play. Perfect for a relaxed summer's eve with friends and family! Tickets £18 (£16 concs & under 17s) Booking recommended: book online here or call Gates open at 6pm, show starts at 7pm (enter & exit via museum reception) Please bring your own rugs or picnic chairs to sit on (no seating provided) and clothes to suit all weathers (warm layers and waterproofs). Picnics welcome, hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice creams available to buy. Sorry - no dogs allowed (only access dogs).
