Venue: Barn Theatre, Handside Lane, Welwyn Garden City, Herts, AL8 6ST.
Date: Friday 10th July
The Barn Theatre presents "Sugar Daddies" by Alan Ayckbourn. Directed by Maureen Davies.
Father Christmas has been nearly run over by a car, so young student Sasha helps him into her flat. He turns out to be an elderly man called Val, with a questionable history. Sasha’s fraught sister Chloe returns home and cannot believe Sasha has let a total stranger into the flat. Sasha starts to spend time with Val, who spoils her and begins to change her outwardly and inwardly. A new neighbour Ashley also befriends Sasha; being an ex policeman he knows – and detests – Val, and tries to warn Sasha to be wary of him. One of Ayckbourn’s very best recent comedies.

Pendley Shakespeare Festival - A Midsummer Nights Dream & Macbeth
Venue: Pendley Manor Hotel, Cow Lane, Tring, Hertfordshire HP23 5QY.
Date: Tuesday 4th August to Saturday 15th August
Time: Productions nightly at 8.00pm
Pendley Shakespeare Festival 60th Anniversary Year.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (4th – 8th August)
Will Edwards’ first production at Pendley, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is Shakespeare’s quintessential romantic comedy. Notorious thespian Peter Broad (Sir Toby Belch, Twelfth Night 2008) plays the notorious thespian Nick Bottom.
Macbeth (11th – 15th August)
Following his magical production of The Tempest in 2007, Stephen Artus returns to Pendley to direct Macbeth. With Sarah Whitehouse (Viola, Twelfth Night 2008) as Lady Macbeth, the production promises to be “bloody, bold and resolute”!
In 1949, Dorian Williams founded the Pendley Shakespeare Festival amid the Victorian finery of his magnificent ancestral home. Sixty years later, it remains our privilege to bring Shakespeare to new audiences in the grounds of this stunning Manor House. Join us from the 4th to the 15th August for Shakespeare alfresco! Explore the twilight; embrace the elements; escape the Forest of Athens to the Fairyland of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, before Birnam Wood comes to Pendley Manor in an electrifying new production of Macbeth. The beautiful grounds of the Hotel will open at 6pm, so we guarantee time enough to enjoy a picnic or why not treat yourself to a pre-show meal in our award-winning restaurant?
