Outdoor Theatre - Othello
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer at Croome for an outdoor performance of William Shakespeare's Othello, one of the most captivating and thrilling plays ever written.
- Booking essential
This summer, join us at Croome for an open air production of Othello by William Shakespeare, performed by The Lord Chamberlain's Men. See it performed how William Shakespeare first encountered it, as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men present this play in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.
A powerful story of deception, jealousy and a man that loved not wisely but too well – this stunning and heartbreakingly poignant play is one you won’t want to miss. Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be rapt and transported. Book early to avoid missing out!
