We are going to take a wild guess that at some point this summer, you will be spending an evening relaxing in the park.
So why not pair that experience with a bit of timeless theatre?
For instance, with today’s Big Deal for a ticket to Edward II, which you will get to experience in the stunning Kibble Palace glasshouse in the Botanic Gardens.
Tale of forbidden love
The super popular Bard in the Botanics festival celebrates both the works of Shakespeare and the playwrights who influenced him.
Christopher Marlowe’s classic play, Edward II, charts the romance between the king and his favourite nobleman, Gaveston – and the forces that gather against them in the palace.
Their all-consuming love makes enemies of the establishment, alienates the queen and threatens to tear the kingdom to pieces.
Featuring the first openly gay couple in English drama, Edward II is both a political thriller and an intense love story. It is also an exploration of how far society will go to destroy a relationship seen as taboo.
Theatre in the glasshouse
If uber intense romantic drama is your bag, then grab today’s deal for a ticket to Edward II at Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens. You have a choice of four dates, with performances starting at 8pm:
18th, 19th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th July
The play will take place in the 19th century glass palace at the Botanics, which is about as striking a setting as you can get. It will definitely make for a more intimate affair than the great outdoors.
Multiple purchases are available, so you could either make this a romantic evening with your other half or a cultured get together with pals.
Plus as the performance is suitable for audiences aged 12 or over, you could even turn it into a family occasion.
Happy audiences
Last year’s Bard in the Botanics audiences had plenty of positive things to say on the festival’s Facebook page, including the following:
‘Saw ‘Taming of the Shrew’ on Tuesday 4th July, now my 4th time seeing a BITB performance, and it did not disappoint! Performances were hilarious, touching, energetic and emotional. Had a fab night and love being able to take a nice picnic and some cosy blankets and watch a fantastic performance out in the fresh air. One of the highlights of my year! Well done again to all – you’re fab!’
‘Went to see Measure for Measure in the glasshouse at The Botanics. What an amazing experience. Esme Bayley was excellent in her dual role and the other 3 actors made the story flow easily. The performances were strong and believable. The scene with Angelo and the nun Isabelle was both powerful and emotional. A great production. Well worth a watch.’
‘Saw Taming of the Shrew last night Tuesday 4th on a very chilly evening. What a wonderful performance, so enjoyable and every drop of humour much appreciated by the audience, particularly the ad libs! David Rankine did a magnificent job and somehow we forgot he was reading from the script. Thank you for such a great evening.’
