The brilliant Illyria Theatre

Britain's foremost and longest-running, award-winning outdoor theatre company - the brilliant Illyria Theatre are coming to Frome!

An outside performance on ECOS amphitheatre; bring rugs and picnics.

Five couples – three human, one fairy, and one mythical – find their relationships sorely tested, intimately probed and indecently exposed when a troupe of amateur theatricals bumble into the forest to rehearse a play in this classic Shakespeare play.

Shakespeare's timeless comic masterpiece explores every colour in the spectrum of love, from arranged marriage to elopement, from infatuation to hatred, from chivalric devotion to raw sex. Add to this bawdy mix a heady brew of confusion, magic and mischief, and you have the most perfectly frothy comedy for a moonlit summer evening.
