In 1947, Dorian Williams founded the Pendley Shakespeare Festival amid the Victorian finery of his magnificent ancestral home. Almost sixty years later, it remains our privilege to bring Shakespeare to new audiences in the grounds of this stunning Manor House.
From the 5th to the 16th of August, you are invited to join us for evening performances of two of Shakespeare’s most beloved works: the incomparable Twelfth Night and the electrifying The Merchant of Venice. Both plays promise to provide sumptuous costumes, dynamic set designs and plenty of laughter.
Grounds open at 6pm, so we guarantee time enough to enjoy a meal in our award winning restaurant, or to picnic within the sumptuous grounds, before the performance starts at 8pm.
"If music be the food of love, play on"
Liam Evans-Ford’s first production at Pendley, Twelfth Night, is Shakespeare’s classic chaotic comedy. Will the confusion caused by a severe dose of mistaken identity be rectified? Will Malvolio, a pompous steward with ideas above his station, be taken down a peg or two? And will love reign happily ever after in Illyria?
