Summer 2024 Tour

Following the huge success of ROMEO & JULIET, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and TWELFTH NIGHT, plans are underway for Summer 2024.

​

We look forward to seeing you then and to stay up to date with ELSF, please follow us on social media or join our mailing list.

 

BYO Picnics welcome: gates open an hour before the show, so bring a picnic, soak up the atmosphere

 

For younger members of the audience (3+), you can also take part in a pre-show ‘flower-fairy’ headband making workshops run by cast members. This is at a small additional charge to show tickets so please add a separate workshop ticket when booking,

 

This is outdoor Shakespeare with a twist: combining the wonderful storytelling of the Bard with a flavour of East London culture. Pure, unadulterated escapism, with live music, showstopper numbers in lovely outdoor settings.
