Enjoy a picnic and a play at The Hyde Residential Home at Walditch, Bridport when one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies is staged.

Love's Labour's Lost will be performed by Folksy Theatre on Thursday July 26 at 7pm.

The King of Navarre and his lords swear off food, women, and sleep in order to study for three years. No sooner have they made their oath, when the Princess of France arrives on business, with her ladies-in-waiting. How will the King and his Lords resolve hold up? This wonderful Shakespeare comedy is filled with Folksy's touch of live music, audience interaction and downright silliness.

Director Tom Hardwick said: “We always aim to make our productions as enjoyable and accessible as possible. Our modern twist and wonderful live musicians, help bring Shakespeare’s words alive in a fun and authentic way.”

Bring along your picnics, blankets, folding chairs and friends and family to enjoy this open-air production at Forde Abbey, Chard, Somerset, TA20 4LU.
