This is the 77th season for The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and as the summers get hotter, they're more popular than ever. The season kicks off with Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing - Love is war! featuring the verbal jousting between Beatrice and Benedick, destined to become lovers. It's then over to one of Shakespeare's toughest plays to stage in this re-imagined production of The Tempest for everyone aged six and over. Prospero whips up a storm to avenge his enemies and the magic and mayhem that ensues is enchanting stuff. In July, we leave the Bard behind for a showing of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest while August and September are devoted to the breezy musical comedy Hello, Dolly! But no matter how fabulous the performances the biggest draw, as always, is the magical setting. The players emerge from the green leafy wings, under a darkening summer sky (you may need to take waterproofs but mainly the show goes on whatever the weather) and surrounded by English parkland. Comedy by Jimmy Carr, Simon Amstell and The Comedy Store Players add to a summer of outdoor fun, with live music nights dotted in between. British Sea Power, Alabama 3 and Tunng are the three highly rated bands lined up for consecutive weekends in August.
