Founded in 2004 and named after the company that Shakespeare was a part of and for whom he wrote some of his most famous and greatest plays, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men has established itself as the UK’s premier open air touring theatre company.

Touring to over 70 venues throughout the UK and internationally over the summer months, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men brings its unique blend of all male Shakespearean entertainment to only the most beautiful and historic open air venues. Here audiences sit under the stars, sip a glass of wine and enjoy a picnic while being enthralled in true Elizabethan fashion.

The company follow the same principles that Shakespeare himself championed: clear, bold and dynamic storytelling in the open air, seasoned with a healthy dose of music, songs and comedy combine to make a Lord Chamberlain’s Men production the perfect way to spend a summer’s evening.

Over the last decade and more The Lord Chamberlain’s Men have gone from strength to strength, and continue to enhance their reputation as the UK’s most popular outdoor touring Shakespeare company. Renowned for high-quality, standard-setting productions the company is also setting the standard for good working practices. Working closely with Equity, the actors’ union, we helped to create the Outdoor Touring Guidelines. These guidelines ensure that actors working for Equity compliant companies work in conditions and for rates of pay that adhere to ratified professional standards. Better cared for performers create better productions.
