Don't delay, book now for your theatre festival seats

BOOKING is now open for this year’s Wells Theatre Festival and audiences will be spoilt for choice with a diverse programme of theatre performances for everyone, with audience favourites returning as well as new productions from some of the country’s most exciting touring theatre companies.

- 

As ever, at the heart of the Festival is the community production of a Shakespeare play, directed and produced by husband and wife team Ros and Neil Johnson who have backgrounds at the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and London's West End.

The Wells Community ‘Theatre Company is made up of local residents, some have had no experience of professional theatre but with Ros’ expert guidance and direction they produce extraordinary performances.

Last year the Mayor of Wells, Cllr Jasmine Browne, declared that their production of Macbeth in the Bishops Barn was the best she had ever seen.

This year, two professionally trained actors return to the Festival to take the leading roles in one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays - The Taming of the Shrew.
