  • 2811 01 OAT Annual Review 2015 V53.Pdf
    “ Even more than most theatre, Regent’s Park becomes an event and a small adventure” Daily Telegraph, June 2015 As Peter Pan flew high above our audience and Lord of the Flies once again crashed into Regent’s Park, our reputation for producing on an epic scale in London was certainly taken to new heights. Our brand of blockbuster storytelling is now also celebrated across the country with last year’s sell-out tour of To Kill a Mockingbird, culminating with a month-long residency at the Barbican, and Lord of the Flies now touring the UK until April 2016. “ Sensationally stunning…captivating from start to finish; the set was completely breathtaking. Lord of the Flies is, without question, the best play I have ever seen” Get Bucks, October 2015 We are an entirely self-funded charity with ticket sales accounting for over 90% of income, yet we continue to engage and develop a diverse audience. As the Evening Standard noted, our new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, commissioned in its 120th anniversary year, was “exactly what the currently crest-of-a-wave Open Air Theatre should be putting on: a lively new version of a classic for a wider audience than Russian playwrights tend to garner”. Meanwhile, our programme of investment to renew the fabric of the Open Air Theatre continued with the replacement of theatre’s bar and restaurants prior to the season. “ London’s most magical outside theatre space” The Guardian, May 2015 Timothy Sheader William Village Peter Pan.
