Now in its 17th year, Chapterhouse Theatre Company returns this year with its tour of open-air theatre at some of the most beautiful country houses, castles and heritage sites across Ireland. From a first year of performances at some 30 venues with Romeo and Juliet in 2000, the company has established itself as one of the most successful and critically acclaimed touring companies in the country. In 2016, Chapterhouse is performing in over 180 of the UK and Ireland’s most beautiful and idyllic garden settings, with Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar set to host two of its productions, Sense and Sensibility and Peter Pan.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
Join Chapterhouse Theatre Company at Belvedere House & Gardens on Thursday, 23 June as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood make their first forays into the exciting world of Regency society. This exquisite and lively tale follows the sisters as they fall in love, make mistakes and experience heartbreak for the first time in their quest to find a balance between sense and sensibility. Picnic in some of the most beautiful gardens and enjoy a night of magical theatre under the stars.
PETER PAN
Chapterhouse Theatre Company will return to Belvedere on Friday, 1 July when they present the unforgettable story of Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up. Join Wendy, Michael and John Darling on their adventures with Peter, far away on the magical island of Neverland. There they encounter the enchanting mermaids, magical fairies and the cruellest pirate of them all, Captain Hook. Presented by special arrangement with Samuel French and in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, J.M. Barrie’s timeless classic is brought to life in a brand new adaptation by award winning writer Laura Turner, with original music and songs, and beautifully designed costumes. Join Peter and his friends for what promises to be the most magical evening of the summer.
