Outdoor theatre - Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth - Double bill
Experience two bold, visceral, high-impact productions with the picturesque gardens of Quarry Bank as the backdrop.
- Booking essential
Set within the walled garden at Quarry Bank, passion, violence, and urgency explode in this bold, high-energy double-bill production.
From the dark tragedy of Macbeth, with raw ambition, betrayal, and supernatural prophecy, to the hard-hitting passion, violence, and urgency of Romeo and Juliet, A Place For Us Theatre presents these five-star-acclaimed, abridged, and accessible visceral versions of Shakespeare's chilling plays.
With dynamic staging, visceral performances, heart-stopping drama, and immersive production, this performance creates an unforgettable theatrical experience.
So, pack your picnics, grab your wet-weather gear or sun cream (or both), something to sit on, and prepare for an enchanting evening. Ticket prices include both productions; it is not possible to book to see only one of the performances.
Babies under 12 months go free. Essential companions are welcome free of charge. Simply make the booking for your party, then email quarrybank@nationaltrust.org.uk with your request for a carer or companion's ticket, including your booking reference number.
National Trust admission charge does not apply.
