the world of William Shakespeare with a series of carefully themed gardens designed to evoke the spirit of five of Shakespeare’s best-known plays, from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Macbeth” to “Hamlet”, “The Tempest” and “As You Like It”.
This enchanting garden turns into one of the loveliest open-air theatres each spring. The stage setting, dotted with fragrant plants, briars and flowerbeds, gives on to lush green lawns for spectators to sit on.
This theatre festival opening on the first of May, as usual, with a show of folk Scottish dances, offers a European Season this year.
The program includes four plays by three great Italian, English and French playwrights : La Locandiera by Carlo Goldoni, Twelfth Night, in English and A Midsummer’s Night Dream by Wiliam Shakespeare, and Les Plaideurs by Jean Racine.
