Following a sell out performance for Valentine’s Weekend, and wonderful feedback from our audience, Ramshackle Pop-Up Cinema is showing Romeo and Juliet (U) again, this time in the beautiful manor house Lisle Combe.

A number of guests commented on our last event at Lisle Combe when we saw Donizetti’s Elixir of Love: ‘a magical evening’ Mrs A Springman, ’sheer escapism and quite lovely’ Mrs V Hounsfield, ‘what a lovely evening at lovely Lisle Combe with opera!’ Mrs A Wheeler.

Afternoon Cream tea is included in the ticket price and will be served in vintage cups and saucers and tea plates in the Drawing Room. It consists of a variety of sandwiches and cakes, flapjack/rocky road, scones with clotted cream & homemade jams, strawberries and lots of tea or Pimms and Lemonade if you prefer. There will also be a cash bar available.

Tickets cost £18 and are on sale now from [email protected] or ring 01983 852582

This is a bawdy, touching and incredibly moving production in period dress from Shakespeare’s Globe. Filmed in high definition, it’s almost better than being there…and certainly more comfortable!

‘Dominic Dromgoole’s brisk, unfussy production…kept me hooked almost throughout. There is something about this welcoming and festive theatre that always makes you feel exceptionally close to our greatest writer. And watching the famous love story acted out before a mostly young audience, standing attentively and hanging on to every word, is to realise afresh the power of Shakespeare as both a poet and a storyteller.

Dromgoole is blessed with a smashing pair of young lovers. Adetomiwa Edun’s Romeo is fresh, cheeky, light on his feet and full of the ebullience of young love. He’s terrific in the fight scenes, too, and the swordplay in this production is thrilling, with a scary sense in the brutal brawls that someone could end up badly hurt.’
