For the Festival Players, one of Britain’s top touring theatre companies, is marking its 22nd year with a pacy performance that will certainly keep audiences guessing. This year they have chosen to perform Shakespeare’s pastoral romantic comedy As You Like It – one of Shakespeare’s greatest crowd pleasers. Set in the Forest of Arden all kinds of antics are going on – from amorous advances to clowning, disguise and gender reversals! And the Players will be giving audiences even more of a conundrum - by fielding an all male cast! The Gloucestershire-based Festival Players will tour the UK with an exclusively male cast between May 31 and August 27, stopping at the spectacular Italianate Culzean Castle & Country Park on June 26 – one of many National Trust for Scotland properties at which they perform this summer Touchstone & Audrey Rosalind/|Ganymede, Celia/Aliena, Orlando Phebe & Silvius Rosalind, Duke Frederick, Celia The Players, who set out to deliver high class open-air (and occasionally indoor) theatre and make Shakespeare accessible to all, will stage more than 60 performances of the famous play across England, Scotland and Wales – at English country houses, abbeys, parks and village greens to wonderful Welsh gardens like Aberglasney and dramatic Scottish castles including, for the first time, the royal residence of Balmoral.
  • Seven for Severnside

    Seven for Severnside

    Seven for Severnside The Plan for a Better Severnside Consultation Draft – October 2012 Navigant Consulting Introduction Monmouthshire County Council is changing. Under the banner ‘Your County, Your Way’ the Council has embarked on a journey of cultural and organisational change to enable it to respond creatively to the needs and aspirations of the communities of Monmouthshire. As part of this process, the Council aims to create opportunities that empower local communities to shape and enhance their future prospects, supported by the council but with residents, community organisations and the business community taking the opportunity and responsibility to themselves in order to realise their shared aspirations and ambitions for their area. To support this, earlier this year, the Council commissioned Navigant Consulting to undertake the development of a ‘Plan for Severnside’. At the heart of this approach is a recognition that plans, projects and programmes are too often dealt with in isolation. Instead, an integrated approach is needed which draws on the priorities and concerns of the local community and brings together a range of initiatives to address these. The aim of the ‘Plan’ is to provide a route map of clear projects and interventions that, together, can make a significant contribution to making a Severnside a better place for those who live, work and come to the area. The ‘Plan’ is not a statement of lofty ambitions but is focussed on getting things done with the community and its representatives, and is about the partnerships and practical steps needed. This document, then, sets out the proposed priority interventions for Severnside.
