Open-air Shakespeare for all the family at Highdown Gardens

The Tempest Shakespeare play

“The jewel in Worthing’s crown” are back for their 22nd season of presenting sparkling, understandable, and inspiring Shakespeare for all the family.

Picnic under the stars with the wonderful people of Worthing and its surrounds, and become part of what has become one of the great Sussex traditions.

The play that has everything: a dramatic shipwreck, a magician plotting revenge, whilst his daughter falls in love with the son of his enemy, two drunken fools and a monster wanting to take over the island – not to mention treachery amongst the courtiers. Shakespeare weaves all these themes together and adds a magical element with spirits, visions and illusions leading to a powerful and happy ending. Local children will be playing the supernatural creatures.

Evenings at 7:30pm plus 2pm Matinees on Saturday & Sunday (Gates open 90 mins prior to performance)
